* A specialist referee comments (in litt. November 1979): ‘Such a statement from workers on entomopathogenic viruses of the status of the Darmstadt group is most timely and constitutes valuable support to all [workers who are] currently active in endeavours to reduce the impact of synthetic organic pesticides on non-target organisms’. The attention of readers is also called to the comparably substantial ‘short communication’ entitled ‘Safety of Microbial Control Agents to Non-target Invertebrates’, by Dr. H. C. Chapman, Dr E. W. Davidson, Professor Marshall Laird, Dr D. W. Roberts & Dr A. H. Undeen, which we published late last year (Environmental Conservation, Vol. 6 No. 4, pp. 278–80, Winter 1979).—Ed.
