Acknowledgments <br />Numerous scientists and technicians have made major contributions to this Hand- <br />book. Under the former Director, Oliver B. Cope, and the present Director, Richard A. <br />Schoettger, funds were provided to support the acute toxicity testing program. Appre- <br />ciation goes to F. L. Mayer, Jr., for suggestions regarding the selection of chemicals <br />for testing, design of the Handbook format, and for critical review of the manuscript. <br />D. L. Livingston and J. L. Brauhn provided the high-quality organisms needed for <br />testing. Other Federal and State agencies also provided test organisms. Special <br />thanks go to the many chemical companies who provided the compounds for testing. <br />Assistance in compiling summary tables and reviewing and performing data compu- <br />tations was provided by C. Cotant, T. F. King, M. J. Nevins, and D. Whitener. Special <br />appreciation goes to H. O. Sanders for contributions regarding invertebrate toxicity <br />data and for reviewing the manuscript. We also thank D. F. Woodward and W. L. <br />Mauck for contributions to the Laboratory's toxicity file and for reviewing the manu- <br />script. Other biologists contributing to this Handbook include L. C. Folmar, A. M. <br />Julin, and D. V. Swedberg. J. D. Petty critically reviewed the chemical nomenclature <br />for the manuscript. For their excellent technical assistance, we thank B. Barnum, <br />B. W. Faerber, D. A. Johnson, R. L. Knowlton, G. L. Mossing, D. U. Palawski, D. W. <br />Short, J. H. Steinmetz, and J. R. Wencker.
