Both the salt marsh and inland work is shown in detail. The places where mosquitoes breed; the different means of treatment to prevent same, and the machines used in this work, make a complete picture in themselves. In addition to these interesting views of the work in the field we have been able to produce some very remarkable pictures of the life history of the mosquito itself, showing in minute detail its development from the egg to the larva, from the larva to the pupa, and the actual hatching from the pupa to the adult mosquito. Here also we have been able to show the natural enemies devouring the mosquito while in their water stage, finally concluding the picture showing a greatly enlarged mosquito biting a man's hand.
