Abstract

A SERIES of experiments to be reported elsewhere has been performed to discover the nature of egg development in adult female mosquitoes. In the course of the work, a tissue-culture medium was used for suspending extirpated ovaries in various stages of development. This was done to see if development of the isolated ovaries could be induced or continued.
