  I 
  am 
  grateful 
  to 
  my 
  friend 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  H. 
  Durrant 
  for 
  assistance 
  

   in 
  making 
  these 
  notes.

   mens 
  of

  Extermination 
  of 
  Mosquitoes. 
  — 
  Mr. 
  Bacot 
  exhibited, 
  

   on 
  behalf 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Main, 
  a 
  card 
  setting 
  forth 
  the 
  habits, 
  de- 
  

   scription, 
  and 
  rules 
  for 
  mosquito 
  extermination, 
  with 
  illus- 
  

   trations 
  of 
  Culicine 
  and 
  Anopheles 
  mosquitoes 
  and 
  their 
  

   larvae. 
  The 
  card 
  in 
  question 
  was 
  issued 
  by 
  the 
  Health 
  

   Department 
  of 
  the 
  city 
  of 
  Stamford, 
  Connecticut, 
  U.S.A. 
  

   He 
  remarked 
  that, 
  although 
  the 
  specialist 
  did 
  not 
  agree 
  at 
  

   all 
  points 
  with 
  the 
  writer, 
  the 
  information 
  conveyed 
  was 
  

   both 
  sound 
  and 
  clearly 
  put; 
  while 
  this 
  system 
  of 
  instructing 
  

   the 
  general 
  public 
  on 
  the 
  evils 
  of 
  mosquitoes 
  and 
  the 
  methods 
  

   of 
  destroying 
  them 
  was 
  simple 
  and 
  convenient. 
  

  

  Earwigs 
  in 
  Flight. 
  — 
  With 
  reference 
  to 
  a 
  question 
  recently 
  

   asked 
  at 
  a 
  riieeting 
  of 
  the 
  Zoological 
  Society, 
  the 
  Chairman 
  

   inquired 
  whether 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  Fellows 
  had 
  ever 
  actually 
  seen 
  

   the 
  common 
  earwig 
  {Forfcula 
  auricularia) 
  flying. 
  Mr. 
  Durrant 
  

   replied 
  that 
  he 
  had 
  seen 
  and 
  captured 
  one 
  flying 
  round 
  a 
  lamp. 
  

   Mr. 
  E. 
  E. 
  Green 
  said 
  that 
  though 
  he 
  had 
  not 
  seen 
  them 
  flying 
  

   he 
  had 
  several 
  times 
  found 
  them 
  floating 
  dead 
  on 
  water 
  in 
  

   tanks, 
  with 
  the 
  wings 
  spread 
  fully 
  out 
  as 
  in 
  flight. 
  They 
  

   appear 
  to 
  fly 
  only 
  at 
  night.
