  this 
  region, 
  

   authorities. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  a 
  point 
  well 
  worthy 
  of 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  the 
  sanitary 
  

  

  IV. 
  Kecords 
  of 
  Blood-Sucking 
  Insects 
  and 
  other 
  Arthropods 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  Gold 
  Coast. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  list 
  includes, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  possible, 
  all 
  the 
  species 
  so 
  far 
  identified, 
  but 
  

   several 
  more 
  await 
  identification 
  and 
  description. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  from 
  the 
  list 
  of 
  

   Tabanidae 
  that 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  this 
  group 
  has 
  advanced 
  considerably 
  since 
  the 
  

   publication 
  of 
  Austen's 
  Monograph 
  of 
  the 
  African 
  Blood-sucking 
  Flies 
  in 
  1909, 
  and 
  

   doubtless 
  further 
  research 
  will 
  reveal 
  several 
  species 
  not 
  yet 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  regions 
  

   examined. 
  A 
  noteworthy 
  feature 
  brought 
  out 
  in 
  this 
  list 
  is 
  the 
  fact 
  no 
  fewer 
  than 
  

   ten 
  different 
  species 
  of 
  Glossina 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Gold 
  Coast. 
  The 
  Culicidae 
  

   also 
  present 
  a 
  rather 
  formidable 
  list. 
  Our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  the 
  

   various 
  species 
  tabulated 
  here 
  is, 
  however, 
  very 
  scanty, 
  and 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  premature 
  

   to 
  discuss 
  this 
  aspect 
  of 
  the 
  subject, 
  except 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  general 
  way. 
  The 
  various 
  

   records 
  so 
  far 
  known 
  are 
  referred 
  to 
  briefly 
  in 
  the 
  Narrative, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  hoped 
  

   that 
  those 
  interested 
  in 
  this 
  subject 
  will 
  collect 
  every 
  available 
  species 
  from 
  as 
  many 
  

   localities 
  as 
  possible 
  to 
  enable 
  a 
  general 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  each 
  to 
  be
