water in the vicinity of houses and it is specially fond of breeding in the bamboos used for scaffolding or hanging clothes to dry on, or even for fences on which to train plants. So far it is not known to convey disease, nor is the Stegomyia w. alba known to be a source of danger, and it is a rare species. The Stegomyia fasciata was not easy to find at first, but a careful search for it resulted in its being found some ninety odd times in the Kowloon districts and thrice in Victoria. The larvae were found in earthenware pots containing water stored for domestic use and in wooden buckets, iron tanks, wooden barrels and generally in receptacles in which water is kept stored because of the intermittent supply to certain of the districts in Kowloon. The habits of this insect appear to be practically the same here as in other parts of the world in which it is found, even the habit of the larvae to go to the bottom of the barrel of water or other receptacle when a search is being made for them was found to hold good in our survey. It is probable therefore, that the number of occasions on which this species was captured was less than it would have been if it had been practicable to search all of the receptacles thoroughly. This species was found on three occasions only in Victoria and then in parts in which there was a continuous supply of water.
The following is a list of the names of mosquitoes and other biting flies which are known here, so far. They were identified at the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, and it is desirable to bring together the work which has been done on this subject.
