surface of water will be a hundredfold greater after a heavy 

 rainfall than before the rainfall. I would like to inquire of any 

 one of these gentlemen who cares to answer if he has found 

 any way to expand his force quickly to take care of a situation of 

 this kind and prevent the emergence of an enormous brood of 

 mosquitoes. 



Mr. Winship — In answer to that question. Dr. Headlee, I

 places needing oiling, I might just state that in the Isthmian work 

 we had to give up oiling and get down to a concentrated larvicide 

 usage, because a man could carry so much more. A man could 

 carry at one time enough to last him half a day. 



President Meyers — This meeting stands adjourned until ten

The first paper will be read by Mr. Fred A. Reiley, Chief In- 

 spector of the Atlantic County Mosquito Commission. 



Mr. Fred Reii^Ey — The request for a report containing some- 

 thing "new and unusual" in anti-mosquito work in New Jersey 

 is, to say the least, a large order. However, it is partly offset by 

 the further request "positively not to exceed five minutes." I 

 promise to follow to the letter the latter order. 



A survey of the records of 192 1 shows two instances that can 

 certainly be classed as new and we trust will remain unusual. 

 The first was the finding of the larvae of Aedes cantator on the 

 open meadow as early as February and again in March, at which 

 time the larvae were as numerous as mid-summer breeding of
