130 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
Measurements in //: Antennal joints: (i.) 24; (2.) 36; (3.) 
102-105; (4-) 21 ; (5.) 21 ; (6.) 33-37. Anterior leg: femur " + 
trochanter, 155; tibia, 112; tarsus, 76. Eggs white. The 
following species agree in having 6-jointed antennae, with 6 
very much shorter than 3, 2 longer than 4 or 5, and 4 and 
5 equal or almost so: nigrofasciatum, caprece (cf. Douglas), 
rosce (on rose), tar sale (Mass., on Cornus) and folsomi. It 
will be observed that some of the characters of folsomi suggest 
affinity with E. nigrofasciatum. 
There being no further notes or papers Dr. Dyar spoke 
a few minutes on his recent trip to Florida and to the Northern 
United States and Canada. He stated that the season in 
Florida was very dry and the trip quite unproductive so far 
as mosquitoes were concerned. In the North very good results 
were obtained and larvae of several of the early spring forms 
were being bred. 
Mr. Pratt stated that he was now breeding adults from 
Ceratopogon larvae from Woodstock, Va.; these had passed 
the winter as larvae. 
Some discussion followed on the absence of mosquito 
larvae at Key West in the dry season, and also the effect the 
wholesale killing of mosquitoes would have on various algae, 
bacteria, and other growths in the water.
