Experimental Statistics in Entomology

Abstract

The author conceived the idea of this work between 1940 and 1945, while working as statistical consultant for the Bureau of Entomology. The need of such discussions for those facing statistical questions in experimental work, but not well versed in such methods, was apparent. Since then ma¬ terial has been accumulated as time could be spared from more regular work. The opportunity to draw this work together has come recently, and it is submitted with the hope that it will be helpful. Many acknowledgments must be made. My teachers, supervisors, and colleagues have made the work possible. I must give credit to the Graduate School for their encouragement ; especially to Miss Vera Jensen for much help and counsel, and Mrs. Kathleen Gilbert Franz for careful work in typing. Dr.
