Abstract
Saw-toothed grain beetle (Orysaephilus surinamensis) adults and the Indian-meal moth (Plodia interpunctella) larvae fumigated with carbon disulphid at atmospheric pressure revive under certain conditions as much as ten and fifteen days, respectively, after treatment. Several larvae of the latter species which revived a week or more after fumigation subsequently emerged as adults. With these species, under the conditions outlined, accurate results cannot be secured by final examination twenty-four to forty-eight hours after fumigation.
