Culicines.
22. In addition to C. mimeticus and C. mimulus, another species of spotted wing Culex was met with and referred to Dr. Edwards of the British Museum who is of the opinion that it is a new one.
23. Whilst making outdoor searches for Anopheline mosquitoes, a Uranotaenia was captured, and sent to Dr. Edwards. He is describing it as a new species.
24. Larval skins and the corresponding imagines of Culicine identified as C. fuscocephalus, C. (L) shebbeari, C. (L) infantulus, C. (L) rubithoracis, C. malayi, and Tripteroides vicina have been obtained.
25. Under low powers of the microscope the thorax of C. (L) rubithoracis is seen to have a distinctive shagreened appearance.
26. Larval and adult specimens were received from Dr. Stephen Hu, Lester Institute, Shanghai, and from Dr. Ling, Nanking; various specimens were sent from time to time to the British Museum.
27. Living mosquitoes and larvae of C. fatigans were taken to Dr. S. Hu, Shanghai, from the Bureau by Dr. Dunscombe, to be used for experimental purposes.
28. 3306 C. fatigans were dissected for Avian malaria, and for filaria infections. These mosquitoes were obtained from village huts and contractors' matsheds whilst searching for Anophelines. The only infection found was a larval filaria; the mosquito was obtained from the Wong Chok Hang area from whence Anophelines have been found with such infections from time to time.
(b) Malaria.
29. The following anophelines were found infected:-A. minimus, A. jeyporiensis, A. hyrcanus, A. maculatus, and A. splendidus.
30. The infected A. hyrcanus were obtained from the Shing Mun and Little Hong Kong catches, the A. maculatus from the Shing Mun and Wo Li Hop catches, the A. splendidus from Shing Mun.
31. Statistics for 1934 obtained from the M.O.H. show that 365 deaths were ascribed to malaria in the Colony and the New Territories, this being 1.85% of the total deaths. The death rate per thousand for malaria is given as 0.39.
