Rochay de Jough point out that the species Lemna palustrit plays an importaal part in bindering the development of the insects. It would appear bat a covering of this weed prevents the mosquitoes from laying their eggs. in the water, Probably such a pond would prove unsuitable for the development of the Jarva. On the other hand, those investigators find that

watercress and watercrowfop! favour the laying of the reggi. Reference may also be made, comments the. Globe, to Major Adie's observation that Lemna midor

one of our native duckweeds, prevents mosquitoes from laying their eggs in the water. Tanks covered with this weed are found to contain no larvie or culicide, while those not mo 'covered aroull of them, Vegetation may be associated with the life history of mosquitoes, in another way. The Awers of cestalo species and the leaves of nthers as the Pitcher plants--form natural re- servoirs of water, and in these mosquitoes nie found to breed. Thus, in certain tropical re glons the prevalence of matarla might be asso. ciated with an abundant development of Pitcher plants.
