The author is indebted to his colleagues at the University of
11linois, especially Professors C. N. Graves and J. R. Lodge and
Dr. Alan W. Blackshaw,a visitor in residence from the University of
Queensland, Australia, 1967-68, for permission to mention some of
their own findings and for their critique of this manuscript and to
the United States Public Health Service for a grant to attend this
Congress.
