bred from Bromeliaceae ; Prosopolejns fliii captured in woods ; Culex 

 '{Carrollia) secunda, suggested for examples from Panama closely 

 resembling Culex {Carrollia) iridescens, Lutz, although the larvae and 

 male genitalia differ ; Culex (Carrollia) infoliata, the larvae of which 

 live in tree- holes ; Culex brevispinosus ; Culex (Choeroporpa) alcocH ; 

 C. (C.) saramaccensis, of which the larvae were found in rock-pools ; 



C. alhinensis and C. coppenamensis, the larvae of which were found 

 in ground-pools ; C. nicceriensis, bred from larvae taken in ground 

 pools ; C. (C.) maroniensis ; Culex [Melanoconion) ensiformis, larvae of 

 which were found in grassy pools ; C. (M.) comtnevynensis, bred 

 from a ditch ; Culex {MocJdostyrax) curopinensis, which is common 

 all over the Colony throughout the year ; C. (M.) multispinosus, larvae 

 of which were found in permanent pools ; Aedes arborealis, bred 

 from a tree- hole ; A. argyrothorax, captured near a tree-hole near 

 Paramaribo ; MegarJiinus aldrichanus, bred from ground Bromehaceae ; 

 and Megarhinus guadeloupensis guianensis, subsp. n. 



From individuals reared from pupae found in clear water held by 

 a fallen banana leaf it is thought probable that Sabethes bipartipes, 



D. & K., of which only females and S. chroiopus, D. & K., of which 

 only males have been found, represent the two sexes of one species.

The section dealing with direct prophylactic measures against 

 €xanthematous typhus mentions various methods of louse destruction. 

 A feature of this paper is a bibliography of nearly 500 references

Two cases of malignant tertian malaria at a desert post in Sinai 

 in 1916 are recorded as a result of infection by a single mosquito, 

 Anopheles pharoensis. 



The anti-mosquito work in the vicinity of the river Auja in the 

 spring and summer of 1918 is discussed [R.A.E., B, viii, 51]. Many 

 species of mosquitos are mentioned as being found in this area, including 

 Anopheles fragilis and Theobaldia longiareolata in addition to those 

 already recorded [loc. cit.].

Dirhinus sarcop)hagae, sp. n., of which the adult is here described, 

 was bred from the pupae of the common flesh-fly, Sarcophaga aurifrons, 

 between 1st January and end of February. One indi\'idual only 

 emerged from each fly pupa.
