immensely in the quantity or quality of their poison? We did 
not feel sufficiently positive on this point to care to handle that 
particular caterpillar. 
Note—A recent visit to the Dudley place, a large stock farm 
thirteen miles west of Gainesville, offered the most conclusive 
proof of my main point as to the ease with which mosquitoes 
may be controlled. Here we have ideal natural breeding pools 
all about and scores of farm animals to supply blood and still for 
three nights I slept between two large windows, wide open, shad- 
ed by shrubbery and without screens or netting of any kind with- 
out once hearing the song of a mosquito. Keeping the rain water 
barrels and the cistern stocked with minnows, one or two in 
each barrel and five or six in the cistern, and strict attention to 
all watering troughs had completely solved the problem.—C.

WANTED—To buy or exchange for northern species, southern 
Chrysopidae (Lace-winged-flies). All stages desired, especially 
material for biological studies. Will determine specimens. Dr.
