 Mosquitoes Collected July 27 and 28, 1917 



The collection at North Arlington Cemetery was made at the edge 

 of a bad breeding marsh. The collection near Morgan was made 

 near a piece of imdrained salt marsh. In Ocean County the mos- 

 quitoes from the large undrained areas to the south were met in in- 

 creasing numbers from Forked River as the writer went south 

 until the full density of the brood was reached at Tuckerton. Port 

 Republic was like the rest of the Shore Road, beside drained marshes 

 but in reach of flights from undrained meadows. At Woodbine 

 the full density of the brood was found. The marshes in the neigh- 

 borhood of Cape May City are drained and the mosquitoes must 

 come in on a northeast or northwest breeze, neither of which usu- 

 ally are suitable for their carriage. 



It must be remembered that the trip from which these records are 

 derived was made during the part of 191 7 when combinations of high 

 tide and heavy rainfall gave the best possible mosquito-breeding 

 conditions, and that normally the catch of salt-marsh mosquitoes in 

 the northern parts of the state, where from i to 5 were taken, would 

 have shown practically nothing.
