each of the habitats by locality. It will be 
noted that: 
1. Nearly every habitat was represented at 
Milne Bay. This locality was the most pro- 
ductive in both species and numbers of in- 
dividuals. However, since the collection 
period here was much longer, strict compari- 
son with the other areas is not warranted. 
2. Morobe was markedly unproductive large- 
ly because natural barriers sharply limited the 
study area. A light rainfall during the brief 
collecting period further reduced collection 
possibilities. 
3. Collections from Afresh water in con- 
tainers” were well represented at nearly every 
locality, whereas, with the exception of the
