On the basis of experience in using D.D.T. as an insecticide in both liquid and powder forms, suggestions are made for improved spray and dust guns.

My thanks are to S./Sgt. Toop, workshop foreman, and Pte Carter, tinsmith, of my old hygiene section, for the months of experiment, trial and error involved in producing these apparently simple innovations. Also to Brigadier H. B. F. Dixon, D.D.M.S. West Africa Command, for permission to forward this article for publication.
