THE BAHAMA ISLANDS 277 



The small island near Eeids Cay is about fourteen miles from Mangrove 



Cay and uninhabited. The following species were obtained here: 



Culex confirmatus (Arrib.). Culex sollicitans Walk. 



Culex nanus Coq. Culex tccniorynchus Wied. 



Green Cay. 



At this place mosquitoes in innumerable swarms flew out to our vessel 

 while at anchor near the shore, and the next morning specimens were collected 

 on board. The species were : 



Culex jamaicensis Theob. Culex sollicitans Walk. 



Spanish Wells, George Island. 



All the specimens obtained here were either from houses or water barrels 

 near them. The brackish water which these barrels contained is softened 

 by adding ashes and used for drinking and cooking purposes by the natives. 

 The following species were obtained here : 



Stegomyia fasciata (Fabr.). Culex pipiens Linne 



Harbor Island, Eleuthera.

 conditions as those from Spanish Wells. They all belonged to the one species, 

 Stegomyia fasciata (Fabr.).

These specimens were obtained from houses and water barrels and from 



a small pool. The houses and water barrels furnished the following species :
