that proved to be the last of the brood. After pretans ceased issuing, 

 canadensis began to emerge in large numbers. The eggs, it appears, 

 hibernate and hatch simultaneously the following spring, the adults 

 appearing a little before canadensis. 



In Hartford, Conn., the species was reported equally abundant in 

 the woodland pools, and the adults caused considerable annoyance in 

 the southeastern portion of the city. 



Culex inconspicuus Grossb. (The Inconspicuous Mosquito). — This 

 mosquito, though sought where it has previously been taken, could 

 not be found during the season. 



Culex aurifer Coq. (The Golden-Scaled Mosquito). — Two speci- 

 mens of the larvae, the only ones sent in, came from the Great Piece 

 meadows, April 24th, in company, as usual, with canadensis and with 

 pretans, sylvestris, cantans and Aedes fuscus. 



Culex pipiens Linn. (The House or Rain-Barrel Mosquito). — This 

 was found breeding in all places suitable for its development. Young 

 larvae were found as early as May 8th, and from then continually to 

 the end of the season. ■ 



Culex restuans Tlieob. (The "\^n[iite-Dotted Mosquito). — This was 

 found with the preceding, and occasionally an entire brood would be 

 restuans. 



Culex salinarius Coq. (The Unhanded Salt Marsh Mosquito).— 

 This heretofore common species was searched for again and again on 

 the salt marsh, where it w^as known to breed, but not a single specimen 

 in any stage was secured until early in November, when Mr. Brehme 

 found it in some pools on the Elizabeth marshes, in company with C. 

 cantator and Anopheles crucians. 



Culex melanurus Coq. (The Black-Tailed Mosquito). — No speci- 

 mens of this species were sent in or collected. 



Culex territans Walk. (The Little Black Mosquito). — Some larvas 

 of this species were found in many fresh water collections. Mr. 

 Brehme found them in considerable numbers at Arlington, August 

 12th. 



Culex saxatilis Grossb. (The Rock Pool Dweller). — A medium- 

 sized, black mosquito, with unhanded legs and beak. The thorax is 

 marked with two pale, yellowish spots and the abdomen is banded with 

 white at the apex of the segments.
