PRODUCTION to not less than eighty three
species OF mosquitoes. thirty Of them
found nowhere else. Fortunately they
DO not all bite, and the contaglon Of
yellow fever is carried BY only one Of
them. Certain genera. technically called
megarhinus, psorophora and lutxia, are
found. which instead Of spreading any
disease hostile to men wage war on
their weaker cousins and at times even
on their brothers and sisters. The yell
low fever mosquito, the only kind In
America spreading this infection, sci
enti6cally called stesomyia, ls very
scarce. 1t Is possible to live for weeks
on the line Of the canal without seeing
Q single specimen. This mosquito Is a
strictly domestic insect, never found
away from man. 1t breeds only In
artificial receptacles. such as barrels,
water coolers. bottles and tin cans In
and around human habitations.-Chi-
