In this part thirty-six species belonging to the genus Hoplopleura 

 are dealt with, including twenty-one new species and two new 

 subspecies [cf. R.A.E., B, viii, 71].

The Anophelines dealt with are Anopheles alhimanus, Wied., A. tarsi- 

 maailatus, Goeldi (which the author gives reasons for treating as 

 a variety of A. alhimanus), A. argyritarsis, R.D., A. pseudopuncti- 

 pennis, Theo., A. eiseni, Coq. {niveopalpis, Ludl.), A. punctimacula, 

 D. & K. {malefactor, D. & K.), A. apicimacida, D. & K., A. neivai. 

 D. & K., and A. hylephihis, D. & K. 



Keys to the adults and larvae are given. The bionomics of these 

 species are to be considered in a future report. The methods employed 

 for the collection, study and preservation of mosquitos are described.

A brief report is given on the distribution of tsetse-flies in the Southern 

 Masai Reserve. Glossina pallidipes, Aust., was found, generally in 

 the bush and fairly close to water, though four individuals were taken 

 at least two miles from water. G. longipennis, Corti, was unexpectedly 

 abundant on the moist, swampy fiats and on the bank of a river ; it 

 ds generaUy associated with drier areas and is said to avoid water. 



Among fleas sent in, chiefly from dogs, were many examples of 

 Ctenocephalns felis and a few of C. canis. A table is given of the 

 species sent in by the medical officer at Mombasa. Contrary to 

 expectation, of 144 fleas examined, only 33 were Xenopsylla cheopis 

 (generally supposed to be the common flea in Mombasa), the remainder 

 being X. brasiliensis, which is apparently recorded for the first time 

 from East Africa.

Observations on warble-flies were begun at Agassiz, British Columbia, 

 in 1911. As the reports published from time to time in connection 

 with this work are now out of print, the results have been summarised 

 in the present paper. Most of this information has already been 

 noticed [R.A.E., B, iv, 195 ; vi, 45, etc.].

In this popular bufletin the author deals with the more important 

 insects that may be found in houses, and their relations to the welfare
