58 N. J. Mosquito Extermination Association 



For the purpose of giving a notion of the prevalence of mos- 

 quitoes during the very worst portion of the season table 5 is 

 appended, reporting a series of collections made July 27 and 28. 

 All collections were made in shrubbery in broad daylight. All 

 collections were the work of two collection bottles. When the 

 total catch in 5 minutes reached 30, the limiting factor became 

 the length of time necessary for the bottles tO' kill.

The collection at North Arlington Cemetery was made at the 

 edge of a bad-breeding piece of marsh. The collection near Mor- 

 gan was made near a piece of undrained salt marsh. In Ocean 

 County the mosquitoes from the large undrained areas to the 

 south were met in increasing numbers from Forked River as we
