Abstract

While assisting my late husband, Dr. M.A. Volkonsky, in his work on locusts at Algiers, I accumulated considerable practical experience with regard to the technique of mass breeding of locusts in cages, as well as making some observations on their behaviour. The following notes do not pretend to be scientific, but they may be of interest and value to other workers.
