 about the middle of April, and the 

 perfect insects emerged about the 

 end of the same month ; F. W. T.* 

 Wimbledon, larva found May 17, 



1 Said at the time to be very abundant and 

 troublesome, its bites causing inflammation, swell- 

 ing and abscesses. At the same period this species 

 was also attracting attention in other London 

 suburbs, such as Lewisham and Stamford Hill. 

 At Aldeburgh in Suffolk, where the insect is 

 abundant and sometimes makes itself very objec- 

 tionable, it is known as the ' Norway mosquito,' 

 and is said to have been introduced from Norway 

 by a yacht. It is however doubtless indigenous 

 to this country. Cf. A. Piffard and E. E. Austen, 

 Ent. Mo. Mag. ser. z, vol. vi. (1895), pp. 227- 

 229.
