been obtained in catches done in the goat pens at Shing Mun Police Station, so it is not unlikely that they may feed upon deer in remote areas. From time to time searches were made in pineapple plants, a few larvae of H. genurostris and A. (S) albopictus were collected from them.
155. The area between the Shing Mun and stream A, north of the Access Road, was visited from time to time and the fallow rice fields inspected, some of which were situated along both banks of A. Several morning catches were done at Wo Li Hop. The great majority of the Anophelines captured were obtained from cowbyres and pigsties. Out of 99 A. minimus, 79 A. jeyporiensis, 169 A. maculatus, 45 A. hyrcanus caught, 78 A. minimus, 50 A. jeyporiensis, 157 A. maculatus, 34 A. hyrcanus were obtained from the animal houses. In 1934, 5,748 Anophelines were obtained in 40 morning searches or 143 per morning, in 1935, 392 in 39 mornings or 10 per morning. This reduction is apparently due to the anti-malarial operations undertaken for the protection of the Camp. No infections were found in 86 A. minimus, 85 A. maculatus, 39 A. hyrcanus, dissected, but 3 (4.35%) infections were found in 69 A. jeyporiensis. Coolies employed at the Camp reside in this village.
156. North of the Access Road between streams A and B, several rice fields were found which had been allowed to go flooded, and found to be breeding A. jeyporiensis. The Resident Medical Officer obtained the permission of the owners to drain them.
157. Close to where stream "A" crosses the Access Road and on the left bank to the south of the road, two matsheds were erected to accommodate labourers engaged in breaking stones. Though the fallow rice fields in this neighbourhood had been dealt with in 1934, there were many rice fields in the main valley of stream "B" which had not been touched and which were within easy mosquito flying distance. During May, 10 morning catches resulted in the capture of 468 anophelines or 46 per morning. In June, 810 were taken in 14 mornings or 58 per morning. The majority were A. minimus and A. jeyporiensis.
158. At the end of June, the matsheds were demolished and the labourers, a number of whom were harbouring malaria parasites, took up work at the camp and helped to swell the malaria figures for July.
159. At the end of the year, 100 military camped on the site mentioned above for four or five nights. Seven cases of malaria resulted.
