ABSTRACT A FEW years ago, Roubaud1, De Boissezon2 and Huff independently directed attention to the fact that females of certain strains of _C. pipiens_ were remarkable, not only in being
able to breed, under suitable conditions, throughout the winter, but also in being able to lay fertile eggs without a preliminary meal of blood. Roubaud considers these unusual
characteristics to be indicative of a distinct, autogenous race of _C. pipiens_, which thrives (in his opinion) exclusively in urban areas where artificially-heated buildings are common. De
Boissezon, on the other hand, denies the existence of such a race of _C. pipiens_, and asserts that the biological peculiarities in question may be caused to manifest themselves in any
strain of _C. pipiens_ (whether town- or country-bred) merely by giving the larvæ plenty of rich food and keeping them warm. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
