Studies of Mosquitoes and Freshwater Ecology in the South Pacific.

By Marshall Laird

Errata

P. 64—Para. 2, line 2, delete “winter”

p. 82—Para. 1, line 5. When writing this the description of the subgenus Levua Stone and Bohart (1944), near Geoskusea, was overlooked. Stone and Bohart were forced to refer their type species (from Suva) to Aedes geoskusea Amos, 1944, the name having been proposed in the first edition of the Fijian Mosquito Control Training Manual which just antedated their own fuller account of the same insect.
