Director-in-Chief, Wellcome Bureau of Scientific Research.

Extract

In the “Bulletin of Entomological Research” for December 1920 Dr. J. M. Dalziel deals in a most interesting and instructive way with the various, and sometimes curious breeding-places of mosquitos in Lagos. He mentions the occurrence of mosquito larvae in saline waters, and in a foot-note refers to a number of salt-water species.
