Period

Slide entry is dated August 17, 1875 (Taken from 2002.0167.001.ak.cs).

Canada

Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former University Health Network [UHN] collection, Toronto, Ont. Log book (2002.0167) entry for slide 230 "A male Mosquito. Captured accidentally on the window. This the kind I have seen & captured in the same positions. They probably come in attracted by the light the night before, & are on the glass in the morning. But how strange by few they must be in comparison to the females! One might catch 100 females for one male. The peculiarity in Mosquito wings is well seen by examining No 67, 150, especially the latter, with this. The outer fringe of large feathers, which is quite peculiar is the same in both male & female. The head & abdominal hooklets may be seen which are at rest in this & are extruded in No. 69. There do not appear to be any saws or lancets in the head or proboscis of the male.".
