Abstract

A REPORT of a local committee in San Francisco in 1927 attracted attention to the great damage done by termites in California. The public was alarmed and funds were quickly subscribed by various interests to finance an investigation committee, the report of which has just appeared. It is an elaborate work, the result of the collaboration of thirty-four authors, under a board of six editors. The board of directors of the committee consisted of twenty-four members, operating with thirteen sub-committees.
