It is not desirable to send large numbers from any one station, as this tends to give insccurate averages for the Colony as whole. No consignment should exceed two dozen. No selection should be made, and at stations where the insects are abundant and easily caught, the first dozen or so mosquitoes that are taken on any given date should be sent. Any selection of special mosquitoes would give errorBOU While I. thus suggest a maximun limit, for the reason mentioned, I would express my special indebtedness to those who have entered so enthusiastically into this matter as to make such a-limitation desirale
