E. N. Marks. 
In a previous note (1947, Q’Ul. Nafnnilisf (3) ; 
04-55) fourteen species of mosquitoes AA’cre re-coi‘ded 
from tlie Noosa-TeAvantin area. The list for the district 
has noAV been increased to thirty species, mainly as a 
result of collections made during the Easter cam]) at 
Boreen Point (15-19th April, 1954), Avhen tAventy-tAvo 
spe-cies Avere taken. 
The similarity in <reology and l>otany bet^veen this 
area and the southern end of Moreton Bay has been re- 
marked upon. TAventy of tAventy-ei"ht mosquito species 
recorded from Dumvich (1949, Q’hl. Naiunfli.si 14 fl ) 
: 9-12) are knoAvu from the TcAvautin district and the 
remainder may be expected to occur there also. 
Mosquitoes at Boreen Point, thougJi never eueoun- 
tered in large numbers Avere remarkable for the variety of 
species and for the scarcity or absence of seATral usiially
