  it 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  the 
  insect 
  is 
  a 
  primary

   secondary 
  parasite 
  at 
  the

  we 
  are 
  gradually 
  

   being 
  forced 
  to 
  abandon 
  the 
  old 
  idea 
  of 
  a

  being 
  

   either 
  exchisively

   fauna

  the

  having

   specimens

  at 
  Palolo. 
  Mr.

  In 
  1861 
  Osten 
  Sacken 
  gave 
  1828-30 
  as 
  the 
  date 
  of 
  the 
  sup- 
  

   posed 
  introduction 
  of 
  mosquitoes 
  into 
  these 
  Islands,* 
  while 
  

   lately 
  Van 
  Dine 
  referred 
  it 
  back 
  to 
  1826

  According 
  to 
  Fornander 
  (***) 
  S. 
  M. 
  Kamakau 
  (one 
  of 
  the 
  

   older 
  Hawaiian 
  historians) 
  "states 
  that 
  fleas 
  and 
  mosquitoes 
  

   were 
  unknown 
  in 
  the 
  Hawaiian 
  group 
  until 
  the 
  arrival 
  of 
  

   Cook's 
  ships," 
  implying 
  that 
  they 
  were 
  introduced 
  then; 
  so 
  

   that 
  if 
  this 
  is 
  correct 
  these 
  pests 
  arrived 
  hereabout 
  1778-9
