Abstract
ECONOMIC Series No. 5 of the British Museum (Natural History) is an illustrated brochure entitled “The Bed-bug : its Habits and Life-History and how to deal with it” (5th edition, 1942), by A. W. McKenny Hughes and C. G. Johnson. This insect, at the present time, is very prevalent in the larger cities wherein many areas are heavily infected. Large-scale evacuation of the population has resulted in the creature becoming established in wide areas previously uninfected. After the War it is likely that further redistribution of large numbers of people will again be necessary. Many complaints have come to hand about public shelters and similar places where people congregate during air-raids being infested. It is obtainable, price 6d., from the Museum or through a bookseller.
