Natural History, the Rothamsted Experiment Station at Harpenden, the new Mosquito Control 
Institute at Hayling Island, the new parasite laboratory of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology 
at Farnham Royal, the Wellcome Field Laboratory at Wisley, and the Moltino Institute at 
Cambridge. In France, he visited Dr. Marchal's laboratory in Paris, the Pasteur Institute, 
and the laboratory of the U. S. Bureau of Entomology at Hyres. In Germany, he visited the 
Deutsches Entomologisches Institut and the Biologischen Reichs—Anstalt at Berlin-Dahlem, and 
Dr. K. Escherich's laboratories in Munich. He also visited Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, 
and Jugoslavia, and attended the Tenth International Zoological Congress at Budapest.
