their place of birth. They are ferocious biters, and sometimes in the Great 

 Piece meadow region are locally almost unbearable. Larvae have been found 

 only from New Brunswick northward, June to September; adults have been 

 taken also at Spring Lake July 30, and Lakehurst, August 16.

Psorophora cohiinhiac D. & K. (The Spotted-Legged Mosquito). Locally 

 common, breeding in open lot pools, though isolated examples of the larvae 

 have been taken in woodland pools. We have only found it at Millburn, 

 Newark, New Brunswick, Delair in July and August; but undoubtedly it is 

 more generally distributed. The adult has never been found attacking man, 

 and though a breeding place is not far from my house, I have never found 

 examples on my porches.
