Imperial Agricultural Bureaux | Nature

ABSTRACT THE fifth annual report (1933-34) of the Executive Council of the Imperial Agricultural Bureaux has now been published (London: H.M. Stationery Office, 4s. net). Consequent on the

recommendations of the Imperial Committee on Economic Consultation and Co-operation (1933), the Council, in addition to its previous duties, has taken over the administration and financial

control of the Imperial Institute of Entomology and of the Imperial Mycological Institute. Special prominence is given in this year's report to tho work of these Institutes, and the

degree of their activity may bo judged by the fact that, on an average, more than 2,000 specimens a week have been received for identification by the former, and material has been forwarded

from thirty-five Dominions and Colonies to the latter Institute during the year under review. The parasite laboratory at Farnham Royal, started by the Empire Marketing Board, has also passed

under the control of the Council, and now draws common financial support. The work of the eight original bureaux continues to develop, and increased use is being made of the information

services available by research institutes ami research workers throughout the Empire. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via
