Extract

At one of the meetings of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, I made a very short communication on the three blood-sucking midges (Jobling, 1929). My particular reference was to Culicoides vexans, which is the most troublesome and commonestspecies in spring, in the northern and the north-western suburbs of London. At that time I had been studying the life history of this midge, including the morphology of its eggs, larvae and the pupa, but this work was not completed.
