Extract

The fact that no inquiry seems to have been made into a matter of some general interest, namely, the reasons which, apart from “hunger,” induce mosquitoes to bite, may serve as an excuse for presenting the preliminary results of an investigation which has had, for the time being, to be discontinued. The following observations on mosquitoes were made at the Pusa Research Institute.
