Biology of Lice

Abstract

A SECOND edition of the booklet entitled “Lice” by Dr. John Smart, published as Economic Series No. 2A by the British Museum (Natural History) has recently appeared (British Museum (Natural History), London, S.W.7, 1948. 9d.). It deals with the incidence, development and habits of lice affecting man and the best methods for controlling these pests. During the six years interval that has elapsed since the appearance of the first edition of this booklet, much new knowledge concerning lice has come to hand, especially relative to control measures acquired during the War. Information on these and other features are incorporated in the new edition.
