In tests against the sumer cabbage fly in Russia, the per* 
eentages of eggs destroyed by three applications of mercurio 
chloride (It 1000) were 95.3, of anabasine sulfate plus green 
soap 78*5, and of nieotine sulfate plus soap 76.0, The percentages 
of first instars destroyed by these three solutions were, re- 
spectively, 6*61, 2.6, and 3.6. They had no effect on the seoond 
and third instars*— Galakhov (24). 
Hhen housefly eggs were dipped in an aqueous solution con- 
taining 5 percent by -weight of anabasine, the mortality was within 
the same range (0 to 30 percent) as that oaused by a solution con- 
taining 5 percent by weight of niootine.— Richardson (59). 
Coleoptera 
Rhynchites baoohns L», ( Coenorrhinus ) R. pauxillus Germ*, and 
Anthonoraus pomorvsa (L.) are important peats~"of fruit trees in Russia. 
Dusting with calcium arsenate containing 7*5 percent of anabasine 
sulfate, or with a proprietary arsenical (Meritol), at rates of IS. 5 
and 27 pounds per acre, respectively, proved effective against all 
three species on apple.— Ibatulina (29). 
Anopl 
ura 
▲ solution containing 2 peroent of anabasine sulfate and 0.5 
percent of green soap was completely effective against head lice, 
and had no harmful effect on the scalp.-- Pivovarov (51). 
PATENTS 
Anabasine tannate is made by reacting 17.5 pounds of anabasine 
and 116 pounds of Chinese gallnuts in the presence of water. The 
product is insoluble in water and contains about 12 percent of the 
alkaloid. This patent oovers the tannates of methylanabasine and 
of the mixture of alkaloids obtained from Anabasis aphylla.— Arnold 
<y. **— 
Anabasine bentonite Is made in the same way that niootine 
bentonite is made* Wyoming bentonite is treated with an excess of 
anabasine sulfate solution. After drying, the produot contains 
about 14 peroent of the alkaloid, of which one-half is water- 
soluble, Nomiootine bentonite may be made in the same manner.— 
Arnold ( 2,4,5,6). 
Anabasine and nomiootine may be substituted for niootine in 
a dusting powder made by volatilising the alkaloid, nixing it with 
exhaust gases, and bringing the mixture into contact with a dust 
suspended in gas. Suitable fumigating and dusting apparatus for 
treating a tree under a tent are described.— Arnold (6). 
An inseotioidal dust is made by adding from 8 to 20 peroent 
of free anabasine or nomiootine to an alkalinited tobaooo dust 
as a earrier and mixing 30 pounds of this with 70 pounds of elay.

Anabasine can be dissolved in Freon-12 and applied as an
