Place a drop of salt solution on a slide, and place the slide on a light Turn the mosquito upon its back and with a needle, held in the left hand, transfix the thorax. Carry the mosquito transfixed on the needle to the slide, and lower the tip of the abdomen into the drop of salt solution. Keeping the transfixing needle in position, make v/ith the other needle a nick upon either side between the sixth and seventh abdominal segments, which point corresponds to the division between the mid and hind-guts. After thus loosening the last few segments, place the point of the needle upon them, slowly dragging them away from the rest of the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Stephens, John William Watson, 1865-; Christophers, S.
