 Espanola Hist. Nat. 19: 449-455. Oct., 1919. — In the botanical laboratory of the University 

 of Barcelona it was noticed that an aquarium containing Chara foetida appeared not to breed 

 mosquitoes as did other aquaria containing other aquatics (Polamogelon fluitans , P. pectinatus, 

 Elodea canadensis, and Apium nodiflorum). Experiments were undertaken which indicated 

 that a sufficient quantity of Chara foetida, probably not much more than one-eighth of the 

 total volume of the container, caused the death of mosquito larvae by asphyxiation. The 

 larvae of Stegomyia appeared somewhat more resistant than those of the other genera. The 

 cultivation of Chara foetida is stated to be easy and economical and its use in tanks, ponds, 

 etc., is recommended for preventing the development therein of mosquito larvae. — O. E.
