The adult female of thi s species lives through the winter hid den away about human habitation s. It breeds in large numbers whereever water stands long enough, in stagnant pools, rain barrels, water hol e!', tin cans. broken bottles and in ha sements. It breeds in the greatest abund ance in foul, polluted ·water, cesspool s, house sink drains, gutters etc." Ten Other Varieties Then thert- is the anopheles puncti pennis and anopheles quadrimaculatm. the common malaria mosquito. And still another known ·as the culex salinarius, the long-legged mar.sh mosquito. The four different types known as the common and most plentiful standing water breeders are the aed es vexans, aedes excrucians, aedes cin erius, and aedes cantator. . There is' also the aedes trh:ittatu s, or tre&-hole breeders. And the culex territan-s the hrown mosquitoes which breed in stagnant water and the ·culicefra inornata, the long-legged, golden brown 11lt>SQttito from marshes. The early crop of mosquitoes were the aedes cinerius and aedes excrucians: the cutlicines appear early in June and the anopheline mosquito v;ill not breed before the fir st of July.
