Tho matter had again been raised at the special session of the Technical Advisory Committee on Desert Locust Control, and thr jerts wore designated for the preparation of the document: Professor Rs Pasquier (Algeria) ror the French text, Dr. RC, Rainey (Centre for Overseas Pest Research, London) for the English text and Kr. M.S, Hassanein (Egypt) for the Arabic text. After very detailed technical discussions of draft definitions at two meet ings of the Working Group (Paris, 1964 and Rone, 1966), virtually complete agreenent wee reached on all pointe, The work was luberrupted ty the death or Froressor Pasquier, and its completion has nov been made possible by Dr. R. Skaf's skills in all three languages in association with Dr. Rainey, both of them having extensive field experinnna.

Haesanein in 1968; it includes sany definitions of terns from related sciences for which convenient glossaries were already available in French and Engliah, bit not in Arabic. The publication of this glossary also provides an opportunity to place on record something of the outstandingly lozical approach and prolonged field experience which were uniquely combined in the work of Professor Pasquier, whose painstaking contributions to the understanding of the ecology of the Desert Locust were curtailed by his untimely death, The editing of @ glossary is always a delicate matter since the equivalents of terms and contents are often debatable in various languages. However, this decunent is the Vest Uist vould ve achieved at the present time and we shall be very grateful to any specialists willing to contribute to the improvenent of this version which will be amended later on taking into account comenta and suggestions racaived. ‘The glossary conteins 179 terms which appear in an alphabetical order on ‘the basis of the French text, Corresponding terma in English are shown in the Appendix, Avhuueleuguents are aye to ail persons Naving contributed to the preparation of this gloséary, or who have given advice and coments, and especially to hr.
