113. This village is situated on the south coast of the Island and is surrounded on all sides by hilly ground except in the direction of the sea. Three streams flow down from the hills. One commences below the War Memorial Hospital and discharges into the Aqueduct which runs into the Aberdeen Reservoir; below the Aqueduct it resumes its course between Mount Kellett and the Aberdeen Chinese Cemetery. This stream is about half a mile from Aberdeen Market. In July a collection was made in the upper portion between the War Memorial Hospital and the Aqueduct, and only larvae of A. maculatus were found.
114. In August the portion between the Aqueduct and the sea was searched and only larvae of A. maculatus were obtained. In September larvae only of A. maculatus were found between the Aqueduct and the sea. In November searches were made in the portions both above and below the Aqueduct, larvae of A. maculatus and a few A. minimus were found in each.
115. Market gardeners, residing in huts, live along the lower portion of this stream.
116. Another stream flows past the Aberdeen Market. It is trained, also its branches.
117. The third stream continues from Aberdeen Reservoir and flows into the sea, close by St. Louis Industrial School. A good many boulders have been removed from the bed. In September a few A. maculatus larvae were found, in December out of about 400 larvae collected 7% were A. minimus.
