Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Laboratory of Pathology Number One 1900
It will be seen by reference to this table of observations that the 374 mosquitoes were caught on thirty-nine different occasions, from thirty-one different places, of which fifteen were points within and sixteen points outside of the city of Buffalo. Many specimens were obtained from lowlands, marshes, ponds, and streams, chie?y in the region of Lake Erie and Niagara River, in fact from places to which public report attached a reputation of being malarious. The specimens were obtained by months as follows: May, 64; June, 63; July, 117; August, 37; September, 84; and October, 9. The observations were therefore made during six consecutive months, representing the malaria season, and the distribution during these momhs was fairly uniform, with the exception of the last month, October. From points within the city, 121 mosquitoes were obtained, and 253 from places outside of Buffalo.
