63. Two instances of salivary gland infection were met with in A. maculatus, one of these had a filarial infection as well. No salivary gland infections were found in A. hyrcanus, as in the previous year its infection rate was low. A. splendidus was twice found infected on both occasions in the midgut, in one instance there were 15 oocysts present, average size 10μ, in the other case 12 oocysts were counted, average size 40. Pigment was yellowish in colour and arranged in clumps in both instances. So far as the Malariologist is aware, the only previous record of the infection of this Anopheline is that mentioned in the Indian Medical Research Memoirs No. 7, July, 1927, where it is stated that it was found infected by Robertson (1910) at Saharanpur.
64. Larval filaria resembling those found in other Anophelines were encountered in one instance in A. splendidus. There were two worms, both were found in the thorax, one a long motile form, the other an intermediate form.

65. This village consists of 26 human habitations. These are built of stone and roofed with tiles. The population is about 126. Cows and pigs are kept; in some instances cows are kept in a room in the dwelling house, in others in the same shelter as the pigs, and in others the shelters are occupied only by pigs. In all these animal shelters there is little light and ventilation, and the great majority of the Anophelines were obtained from them. Out of 577 A. minimus, 1242 A. jeyporiensis, 602 A. maculatus, 152 A. hyrcanus, 5 A. splendidus captured; 530 A. minimus, 1035 A. jeyporiensis, 530 A. maculatus, 148 A. hyrcanus, 5 A. splendidus were obtained from the animal shelters.
66. As the map indicates, Wo Li Hop is situated north of the Access Road to the Shing Mun Camp, on hilly ground sloping from Tai Mo Shan ridge seawards. It is over half a mile from the Camp. Several hill streams flow down from the ridge.
67. Table XVII gives details as regards the catches. Owing to the anti-malarial operations done for the protection of the Camp, the number of Anophelines per morning's catch was considerably less than last year. In 1933, 5748 were obtained in 40 morning catches, or 143 per morning; in 1934, 2578 were got in 91 mornings or 28 per morning. A comparatively large number of A. maculatus were captured, mainly from the animal shelters.
68. The Inspectors when collecting took thick and thin blood films from any sick person found in the village. Of nine bloods examined, malarial parasites were found in five. At various times coolies employed at the Camp resided in Wo Li Hop. The results of the dissections for malaria are given in Table XVIII.
