(3) Fulmer Bungalow, Castle Peak Road.
Owing to complaints of the occurrence of malaria, visits were paid to the neighbourhood on the 23rd and 27th October. Larvae of A. hyrcanus, A. minimus and A. maculatus were found without difficulty in the places searched. A portion of the stream between Fulmer bungalow and the Cafeteria had been trained and a considerable amount of debris had accumulated in it. Larvae of A. hyrcanus were found in every dip, and some larvae of A. maculatus and A. minimus, as well as Simulium larvae. The rice fields in the vicinity were mostly dry on dates of inspection. Screening was recommended.

A visit was paid on 21st November, as recent cases of malaria had occurred there. There were hill streams in the vicinity and terraced rice fields in which larvae of A. minimus, A. jeyporiensis and A. hyrcanus had been found in surveys done in 1930. As a mosquito nuisance was also complained of, the septic tank was inspected and certain defects demonstrated. Mosquitoes afterwards caught in the house, when forwarded to the Bureau, were identified as A. hyrcanus, A. jeyporiensis and Armigeres obturbans. Screening was recommended.
(5) Fanling Government Bungalow.
Visits were paid on 27th October and 1st December. On December 29 Anophelines were obtained in a daytime search in labourers' matsheds, 15 of which were A. hyrcanus, 8 A. minimus, 6 A. jeyporiensis. One A. jeyporiensis was captured on a net in servants' quarters. The blood of one sick labourer was taken and he was found to be suffering from malaria. A brief report was submitted.
