Introduction, vii 



Bourroul (and Dr. Lutz) (1904) ; "The Mosquitoes of New York 

 State," by Professor E. P. Felt (1904) ; "The Mosquitoes of New 

 Jersey," by Professor J. B. Smith (1905) ; " Mosquito Notes," by 

 Miss Ludlow (Canadian Entomologist, 1903-1906), mainly dealing 

 with species from the Philippine Islands; "A Catalogue of 

 Culicidae in the National Museum of Hungary," by F. V. 

 Theobald (1905); "Family Culicidae in Genera Inseetorura," by 

 F. V. Theobald (1905) ; and numerous papers by W. D. 

 Coquillett, M. Ventrillon, Dr. Edmond Sergent, C. S. Banks, 

 and Messrs. Dyar and Knab. 



A large and valuable manuscript was shown me some time 

 ago, " The Mosquitoes of Malaya," by Dr. Leicester, in which 

 many new species were described. This unfortunately has not 

 yet been issued. 



Dr. Raphael Blanchard has compiled a large and valuable 

 work entitled, " Les Moustiques. Histoire Naturelle et Medicale " 

 (1905), in which is collected most available material up to the 

 date of publication. It is of especial value for correcting errors 

 in nomenclature and has the most complete bibliography yet 

 compiled. 



Many other papers of minor importance have appeared and 

 have been referred to in the text. 



Amongst the most valuable collections received have been 

 those from Brazil sent by Drs. Goeldi, Lutz and Fajardo ; from 

 North America by Professors E. P. Felt and Glenn-Herrick ; 

 from the West Indies by Dr. Grabham. From the Transvaal 

 large collections have been sent in connection with the malarial 

 investigations along certain of the railroads by the Government 

 Entomologist, Mr. Simpson. Other large collections have come 

 from Africa through the kindness of Dr. Andrew Balfour, 

 Mr. F. Willcocks, Dr. Aubrey Hodges, Major F. Smith, R.A.M.C., 

 and others. Several collections have been received from Ceylon 

 from Mr. Ernest Green and many from India, notably from 

 Major C. G. Nurse and Major J. R. Adie, I.M.S. (the latter 

 only received by me since this work went to press contains much 

 Anopheline material). 



Much of interest has been sent by M. Ventrillon from 

 Madagascar and by Dr. Edmond Sergent from Algeria. Amongst 

 others who must be thanked for sending collections and specimens 

 from various parts are the Earl of Crawford, K.C.B. ; Dr. 

 Barker, P.M.O., British North Borneo ; Professor Ronald Ross, 

 C.B. ; Dr. Vassal ; Mr. Cornford ; Capt. E. D. W. Greig, I.M.S. ;
