  The 
  expressiveness 
  of 
  their 
  scientific 
  names, 
  321. 
  The 
  family 
  has 
  

   received 
  but 
  little 
  study, 
  321. 
  Mosquitoes 
  occur 
  in 
  every 
  known 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  globe, 
  321. 
  Their 
  abundance 
  has 
  given 
  name 
  to 
  several 
  localities, 
  

   322. 
  Comparatively 
  scarce 
  in 
  England, 
  322. 
  Various 
  means 
  of 
  protec- 
  

   tion 
  adopted

  foreign 
  countries,

  carbolic

   commended 
  as 
  a 
  preventive 
  of 
  mosquito 
  bites, 
  323. 
  Effect 
  of 
  bite 
  varies 
  

   in 
  individuals, 
  323. 
  The 
  results 
  of 
  numerous 
  bites 
  are 
  serious, 
  324, 
  The 
  

   poison 
  injected 
  into 
  the 
  wound 
  causes 
  the 
  blood 
  to 
  flow 
  more 
  readily,

  attaching 
  to

   biting, 
  325. 
  Only 
  the 
  female 
  mosquito 
  is 
  able 
  to 
  bite, 
  326.

   Nothing

  Insects

  This 
  branch 
  of 
  science 
  

   demands 
  close, 
  accurate 
  work, 
  337. 
  Insects
