Book Description
This volume has come about as a direct result of a Symposium entitled "Experimental Analysis of Insect Behaviour" which was an important con tribution to the 14 International Congress of Entomology held in Canberra, Australia, in August 1972 under the joint sponsorship of the Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Entomological Society. It is not, however, strictly Symposium proceedings. I have included, in this volume contributions from several workers who had to withdraw from the Symposium at a fairly late stage. Furthermore, quite intentionally, a number of the contributions bear only a general relationship to the papers given at the Congress. To permit this; the deadline for contribu tions was set at some six months after the Symposium. I imposed no restrictions on the form of the contributions. I did, however, indicate that speculative reviews highlighting the author's own recent research or that of his immediate colleagues would be particularly acceptable, and a number of the contributors have taken the opportunity to write this kind of paper. Several contributors, notably those whose task it was to give more general papers in the Symposium itself, have written reviews of somewhat greater scope.

Book Description
This a recipe book of artificial diets, and can be regarded as a continuation of two previous bulletins (House 1967; House & Bastsch 1971) Its purpose is to give comcise accounts of pulblished diets to allow readders to make rapid assessments of the potential suitability of these diets for own studies. The present bulletin includes 165 papers published in the period may 1970, to december 1972, as well as a few prior to 1970, which were overlooked in the previos bulletins. Some diets for mites are also included. My recent bibliography of artificial diets for and mites lists 980, references covering the period, 1900 to 1970,(singh 1972), Which indicates the large amount of research that has been conducted in this field.

Book Description
Long-range olfactory orientation of the adult Colorado beetle was studied in a low- speed wind tunnel. The odour of fully grown potato plants elicits an upwind locomotory response in Colorado beetles (odour-conditioned positive anemotaxis), and increases the beetles' speed of locomotion (direct chemo-orthokinesis). The initial olfactory orientation of the Colorado beetle during its search for food, is mainly directed towards solanaceous plant species, thus restricting the final part of host plant selection.
