Twenty-second Biennial Report . 47 of this type of mosquito in its typical haunts and its general reaching out to avail itself of other points of favorability again brings out its nature and bespeaks the very immediate probabilities of its course where the effectiveness of the territory's natural topographical barrier to them is voided without substitution. That these mosquitoes have made themselves felt is demonstrated by the history and parasitic indices. Density in whole followed a normal course in rising to a maximum in October and then declining, the whole course showing the response to weather and topographical conditions that is imposed by these circumstances. The peak of malarial infection is normally reached in the latter part of September or during October. The types of mosquitoes present existed in quantity and distribution sufficient to register a general, timely response to any development that favored them. The foci are present and the mosquito population has demonstrated its readiness to follow a perfectly normal course in the territory so far as permitted. It is to be expected that they will expand into any avenue open to them. The Lake Lure Project Lake Lure, a project of the Chimney Rock Mountains, Inc., Chimney Rock, N. C., is a mountain resort development planned to cost approximately four million dollars. It consists of 8,200 acres or 12.8 sq. mi. of mountain and valley land, 1,500 acres or 2.4 sq. m. of which serves as a basin for the lake created by the construction of a concrete dam 574 feet long, carrying a 104-foot head. Its location is on the Broad or Rocky Broad river in Rutherford county, approximately half way between Rutherfordton and Asheville. State road maps give the distance between these towns as 47 miles. The development is approximately 18 miles west by north from Rutherfordton. Malaria in the Lake Lure Territory History and blood indices disclose that for the period embraced by the 1926 survey in the Lake Lure territory malaria was not of special sanitary importance. Infections as shown by histories for natives was 1.97%, for transients, 3.63%: total, 3.25%. By blood indices it was 3.29%- for natives and 2.78% for transients, a total of 2.89%. As in the High Rock territory, malaria, while present, was not prevalent in quantity to be considered a public health problem. Its presence in a mountainous area has its points of interest. Two classifications were made in the residents involved in this work. Those who had not resided long enough to make the local contraction of malaria possible are classed as "transients," while those who had resided in the locality for a length of time equivalent to that required for the transmission of malaria under prevailing conditions were classed as "natives.According to histories, infection among natives was 1.97%, for transients 3.63%. Blood indices were: natives 3.297c, transients 2.78%. Mosquitoes in the Lake Lure Territory Summarizing the mosquito situation in the Lake Lure territory. Anopheles Punctipennis was the predominating species in constant prevalence. The density and distribution of these may be considered normal according to the territory. Anopheles Quadrimaculatus were present but during the
