1936, it became necessary to replace circular P. Q. C. A. 321. The new digest 
was prepared by Harry B. Shaw, plant quarantine inspector, in charge of 
Foreign Information Service, Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines, from the 
German text of the above proclamation as published in the Amtliche Ptlanzen- 
schutzbestinnnungen, Bd. VIII: 3, May 1, 1936, and reviewed by the Cen- 
tralanstalten fin- Forsr)ksvasendet pa Jordbruksomradet (Central Institute 
for Agricultural Research) of Sweden. 
The information contained in this circular is believed to be correct and 
complete up to the time of preparation, but it is not intended to be used in- 
dependently of, nor as a substitute for, the original texts, and it is not to be 
interpreted as legally authoritative. The original texts should be consulted.
