Abstract

A collection of mosquitoes taken in Baffin Land, in 1925, by Mr. J. Dewey Soper, of the Department of Mines, has been received, recently, from Dr. R. M. Anderson of the Victoria Memorial Museum, Ottawa. The collection consists of eighty-four adults, two of which are males and the remainder females, and ten larvae. These specimens are of particular interest in that they are the first to be received from this island, and add to our rather scanty knowledge of the mosquito fauna of northern Canada. The collections were made on the east side of Nettilling Lake, the larvae being taken on June 28, and the adults on June 30 and July 9, 17 and 22.
