Pin-hole borer damage to timber, caused by beetles of the families Scolytidae and Platypodidae, is associated chiefly with recently felled logs and occasionally with standing trees which are in an unhealthy condition. Information collected within recent years by the Forest Products Research Laboratory, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, suggests that attack in standing trees may, however, be of more frequent occurrence than has been commonly supposed. In this connection, an interesting case of damage to English ash by the Platypodid beetle, Platypus cylindrus, F., is worthy of record.

Alan Buchanan Wardrop was one of Australia's most distinguished students of plant cell wall ultra-structure who made major contributions to our understanding of the structure of secondary walls and of how that structure affected the industrial uses of wood fibres. His work integrated information from observations with polarized light, X-rays and electron microscopy. Joining the Forest Products Division of Australia's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in 1945, he became Foundation Professor of Biological Sciences at La Trobe University, Melbourne, in 1965.
