Mosquitoes Freed
SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla., June
16 (A) — Biologists plan to re-
lease more than 1,500,000 mos-
quitoes here today.
It’s part of an experiment to
study the range and habits of the
aedes taeniorhynchus, the notori-
ous biter from the coastal
marshes, according to Dr. Mau-
rice Provost.
They’ve been made radioactive
by a soluble uranium by-prod-
uct and biologists hope they’ll
wind up in traps set from Ever-
glades, 40 miles south, through
Alva, 41 miles east, to Punta
Gorda, 40 miles north.
