Extract

The need having arisen for a small, conveniently situated warm room for the maintenance of mosquitos in a constant environment, the cabinet described below was constructed by the authors at a relatively small cost, and set up in a laboratory-class room (35 ft. x 45 ft.). The warm room, being detached and moveable. entailed no structural alterations or installations.
