Dr. William Robinson, who comes direct from the research staff of 
the Medical School of the University of Chicago, was appointed Senior En- 
tomologist June 1, for duty in Washington. He has been placed in charge 
of the investigation of flies in relation to osteomyelitis. Dr. Robin- 
son took his undergraduate work at the University of Toronto, his M. S. 
from the University of Kansas, and his Ph.D. from the University of Min— 
nesota. He has given special attention to ecology, insect physiology, 
and entomological biochemistry. His work at the University of Chicago 
Medical School was upon certain phases of surgical shock of humans. This 
gave him excellent medical and surgical contacts which will be useful in 
the osteomyelitis project.
