Abstract
An experiment to determine the distribution of methyl bromide gas in a pyramidโshaped stack of bagged decorticated groundnuts in Kano, Nigeria, is described. It was considered that, in view of the poor distribution of gas observed, a pyramidโshaped stack is probably unsuitable for a fumigation in which injection of the gas at a single point is used.

## Abstract The penetration of methyl bromide into packages during treatment by various methods of vacuum fumigation has been further studied using bagged whalemeat meal of high protein content. Results are compared with those obtained in similar tests on bagged wheatfeed previously described. The
Cereal seeds of various varieties which had been fumigated a t one of four moisture contents were kept for 6 years. The germination capacity of the samples was determined initially and again after 6 months, 3 years and 6 years of storage. At the lowest moisture contents good survival of fumigated an
