4% WR. BISHOPP PLACED IN CHARGE OF INVESTIGATIONS 
a OF INSECTS AFFECTING MAN AND ANIMALS 
F To meet the need of correlating ard coordinating the 
experimental work on insects affecting man ard animals, Mr. 
F. C. Bishopp has been transferred from Dallas, Tex., to 
Washington, and placed in immediate charge of this phase of 
the Bureau's work. 
The work on insects affecting animals and poultry has 
| for a number of years been conducted under the able direction 
4 of Mr. Bishopp, but the importance of this work ard the large 
3 interests involved make it especially desirable that it be 
Girected from Washington. The closely related work on habits 
and development of insects which directly affect man logi- 
cally falls within the same unit. 
& In establishing the unit, "Insects Affecting Man and 
. Animals," it is definitely recognized that many phases of the 
problems must be handled in close cooperation with ‘the Feder— 
al Public Health Service, the Bureau of Animal Industry, and 
other agencies. Mr. Bishopp's familiarity with the wide 
variety of problems which come within these fields makes him 
well fitted to direct these important activities. 
The work on insects injurious to cotton will continue 
4 under the direction of B. R. Coed, with hezdquarters at 
Tallulah, La. Mr. Bishopp will act as the Washington repre— 
i sentative of Mr. Coad.
