Extract

In the Northern Insect Survey, sponsored jointly by the Canada Department of Agriculture and the Department of National Defence, the insect fauna of northern Canada was investigated extensively during the summers of 1947-52. The research work has centred on the biting flies and has consisted in large part of taxonomic studies, as a preliminary to biologica1 investigations. In mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, the difficulty of identifying the adult females, particularly those of the black-legged groups, has made biological studies extremely difficult.
