likely to be affected by this pest.

conditions.

Notes on Medical Entomology 
Dr. L. O. Howard and Professor C. T. Brues each gave papers on the relation of 
insects in the transmission of human diseases before Section N, Medical Sciences, at 
the Boston meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 
December, 1922. 
Dr. W. V. King, in charge of the investigations of the Bureau of Entomology on 
malaria mosquitoes at Mound, La., attended the Malaria Conference held at Johns 
Hopkins University in Baltimore, during January. Dr. King will remain in Balti¬ 
more for several weeks working up malaria and mosquito statistics. 
The Dallas, Texas, laboratory of the Bureau of Entomology prepared a booth on 
insects in relation to disease at the Dallas Health Show which was held in Dallas 
from March 13-17. By means of living and mounted specimens, photographs, 
models, etc., an effort was made to popularize this field of entomology which is of 
such vita 1 importance, especially in the South. 
Health authorities, sanitariums and entomologists are giving some attention to 
plans calculated to reduce the chances of another outbreak of dengue fever m the 
South during the present season. The mild winter which has been experienced in 
Texas has permitted yellow fever mosquitoes to winter successfully, at least in the 
coastal region, thus apparently providing an opportunity for the spread of the disease 
early in the season.
