Extract

Field studies on the biting habits of Culicoides furens (Poey) were made near Montego Bay, Jamaica, during 1959 and 1960. Details of the experimental design and analysis have been given in the preceding article of this series. C. furens was collected in eight experiments, six on Florida beach, one at East Florida and one at White Bay. Four of the experiments were conducted at sunset, three at dawn and one in the night.
