CHARLES V. RILEY. Government work and the Patent Office.
Insect Life, IV, Nos. 1 and 2, October, 1891, pp.46-47. Author's abstract of paper read at the Washington meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists. 
The author complains that valuable inventions and discoveries made by Government employes during investigations carried on by Government institutions can be appropriated and patented by outsiders upon mere legal technicalities. As an instance of this sort the Gas treatment for Scale Insects is discussed.
