ANOPHELIN/E FOUND IN CEYLON.

1.—Introduction. 
HAVE only travelled in Ceylon in the end of the dry season, 
which is not the best time to collect mosquitoes ; but I have 
visited a considerable number of places, and think it might be 
of interest to place on record in definite form the names of the 
Anophelime which I have recognized. 
The great months for mosquitoes are after the north-east 
monsoon rains, viz., December and January; during this time I 
have always resided in Colombo. 
I am much indebted to Sir Allan Perry, Principal Civil Medical 
Officer, for the opportunities given me to make these journeys 
and to collect these observations, some *of which are already 
published in his report (8)-.* 
By the kindness of Mr. E. E. Green of Peradeniya, to whom I 
am very much indebted, I have been allowed to enter in this 
paper the places and the species which he has found in Ceyion 
( 6 )-* 
Mr. Green has captured Anophelinse at other times than the end 
of the dry season, and I have thought it better to add these 
seasons as well to my list. 
By the kindness of Dr. Philip, Medical Officer of Health, 
Colombo, I am permitted to draw attention to his observations 
( 10 ). 
I also invite attention to the work of Major Manders, R.A.M.C., 
late of Trincomalee (9).* 
This paper is Part II. of a report on the Prevention of Malaria 
in Ceylon submitted to the Government of Ceylon, by whose kind 
permission it is allowed to be printed. 
These numbers indicate the references at the end.
