MOSQUITOES (Culicinae) 
Vtrmont.. P. C. Bishopp (August 25): According to H. L. Bailey, very few 
mosquitoes around Lake Dunmore this summer. One of the late records for 
the appearance of Aedes cinereus Meig. was August 7- (Det. by A. Stone.) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (August 2k) : Veritable scourge of mosquitoes 
brought about by the unusually heavy and frequent rains in July. Com- 
plaints of their abundance from all parts of the State. 
Connecticut. A. W. Morrill, Jr. (August 1): Mosquitoes, apparently Gulex 
spp., have been extremely prevalent in the Hartford area for the last 
week, during an unusually hot and humid period. Following a period of 
extreme rains the insects appeared in swarms. They arc stated to be 
more numerous and more persistent in entering houses than at any time 
within recent years. Although normally they will not attack except at 
dusk, they have been present at all times of the day. Screens which have 
been in past years quite adequate for keeping them out of the house have 
failed this year completely. 
New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. C-. H. Bradley, W. A. Conncll, and J. A. 
Rowc (August): Large broods of A. sollicitans Walk, emerged following 
heavy rains during the middle and latter part of July and caused mos- 
quito infestations in both inland and resort towns in southern New Jersey, 
Delaware, and eastern Maryland. 'Brood of late July particularly large 
and annoying during the first 2 weeks of August, In southern New Jersey, 
although A. sollicitans was the predominating species, considerable 
numbers of A. vexans Meig. were also present. 
Illinois. E. C. Bishopp (August 1): Reports received of the appearance of 
large numbers of the shaggy-legged gallinipper ( Fsorophor a clliata F.) 
during late July. Very annoying to man in manufacturing plants near 
the river bottoms.
