Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mosquito Brigades and How to Organise Them
Avast number of species of gnats exist, and these species are grouped in a number of genera. Culex and Aaoplze/er are the commonest genera in most places; but Culex has recently been divided into two genera, Culex and Stego myia. The latter is the common brindled or tiger mosquito. It carries yellow fever, breeds mostly in vessels of water, and bites much in the daytime. For brevity, I use the word C ulex in its Old sense.
