MOSQUITOES IN AUCKLAND.

I am not a member of the Auckland Museum, but often attend its lectures. I cannot refrain from congratulating that fine body in possessing a research officer who if scientific yet practical. I am not a naturalist, but was struck with the scientific, natural and practical manner in which he delivered hif lecture. He was capable of giving us the technical parts of the mosquito without going into deep scientific terms so often heard in that lecture room. He was able to give us the practical control side, and from the manner in which he answered the questions assured us he knew his work. Ido not know where Mr. Graham was trained, or where he hails from, but I congratulate him and hope to hear him again on the same question. If the museum gave more lectures similar to his they would havo a much larger audience. May I ask Mr. Graham three questions? In what order of abundance are the six species to be found in Auckland? How could the species he mentioned belonging to other countries reach Xew Zealand? What is that disease, or nemetode worm, he mentioned transmitted by Fatagans? IXTERESTED.
