in spring-like water at Lemont, 111. (July i, 1906), and in a 

 man-hole at Beverly Hills (August 18, 1907). Adults were 

 either collected or observed at Beverly Hills (August 25, 1907; 

 at light, September 7, 1907; August 27, 1908); Palos Park, 

 111. (at light, September 5, 1908; September 4, 1909); and 

 Hessville, Ind. (at light, July 4, 1908). 



Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say. 



This mosquito, to which, it is claimed, the name maculi- 

 pennis should no longer be applied, is less common than the 

 preceding species. On the south side of the city larvae were 

 found at least at three places, namely, in a drainage ditch at 

 Eighty-eighth Street and Stony Id. Avenue (September 9, 

 1906), roadside ditch at Sixty-second Street and Cottage 

 Grove Avenue (September 30, 1906) ; and in a lot pool at 

 Sixty-third street and Prairie Avenue (September 9, 1907). 

 Adults were collected in Chicago (at light, September 8, 1909), 

 and at Willow Springs (July 14, 1908). 



Anopheles walkeri Theob. 



The specimens determined as the above species closely re- 

 semble quadrimaculatus, but differ mainly in having all of the 

 joints of the palpi distinctly tipped with white. 



Aggressive females were collected in the meadows near 

 Beach, 111., late in the afternoon of August 23, 1908. They 

 were also taken at Palos Park, 111. (at light, July 4, 1909), 

 and at Hessville, Ind. (September 22, 1907; at light, July 4, 

 1908). 



Psorophora ciliata Fabr. 



No larvae of this conspicuous mosquito were obtained 

 either in the city or in the nearby region. The adults were 

 likewise quite rare: Chicago (August 16, 1903); Beverly 

 Hills (August 14, 1903), and Hessville, Ind. (August 30, 

 1907). In the southern part of the State (Olive Branch) 

 this species apparently is much more abundant, blood-thirsty 

 females having been seen there as late as October 9.
