Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mosquitoes of North and Central America and the West Indies, Vol. 1
With the opening of the season 1904 it was thought best to limit the number of paid observers working in the manner described above, and only two were so employed, namely, Mrs. Maurice F. Ricker, of Big Fork, Montana, the wife of Professor Ricker, the head of the summer biological station at that point, and Mrs. Hinds, of Victoria, Texas. Dr. A. Siegrist, of Puerto Angel, Pochutla, Oaxaca, Mexico, was also tentatively engaged. The sanitary officials of the Panama Canal Commission promised assistance, and two of them were promised compensation for expenses incurred in collections and observations. The results from Panama and from Puerto Angel were, however, nil. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
