These investigations were made in collaboration between the
Forest Entomology Section and the Wood Preservation Section of the
Forest Research Institute. The present report is part of the project,
‘Tetermination of suitable methods for control of timber destroying
insects”.

Timbers lying in Timber depots of forests are exposed to
attacks by many different insect species. Some of these were
identified by Plumb (1963) who previously collected wood-boring
beetles in the Chittagong Hill Tracts under a US/AID programme.
Unfortunately none of these identified specimens are present in
the Bangladesh.
