A Ten Million Brood.

Regarding mosquito broods and the
number of specimens that develop with
in limited area, few persons recognize
the fact that breeding is Intensive rather
than extensive.
1t Is not that there is a scattering Of
wrigglers over a large area. There Is.
or the contrary. a concentration or
specimens within limited space.
The best Illustration of that was seen
last year in one of the New Jersey re-
sorts, where a small pond, with an area
OF 1894 square feet. produced in one
brood over ten million, six hundred
thousand specimens. This will seem al
most incredible TO those who have never
seen a really well-populated mosquito
pool: but the estimate was carefully
made after hours of work. In which
every part of the pond was sampled and
the larvae ia each sample We're counted.
There were two similar ponds close b.,
and the combined output was quite suf-
ficient to give the place full supply. If
one million mosquitoes are distributed
