本文用血清沉淀素试验和联苯胺试验测定了以豚鼠、鸡和蛇为食的跗库蚊的消化率。豚鼠的血粉比鸡和蛇的血粉消化得慢。在以鸡或蛇为食的蚊子中，在喂食后的类似时间长度（和类似比例的样品）内检测到血清蛋白。在蚊子取食3种宿主中的一种后，还记录了每个筏的卵数和每个筏中卵的孵化率。以鸡为食的蚊子产卵量明显高于以蛇为食的蚊子。以豚鼠为食的蚊子产卵最少。血粉的来源不影响鸡蛋的孵化率。除了活宿主外，还诱导蚊子通过膜进食以下血液制剂：柠檬酸化蛇血、柠檬酸化豚鼠血、豚鼠血清中的蛇红细胞、蛇血清中的豚鼠红细胞。以含有蛇红细胞的血液制剂为食的蚊子比以含有豚鼠红细胞的制剂为食的蚊子产生更多的卵。结果进行了讨论，在有关消化和产蛋的生理。本文还对蚊虫对寄主的某些适应性提出了一些推测。
Rate of digestion inCulex tarsalisCoquillett that had fed on guinea pigs, chickens or snakes was determined by serological precipitin tests and benzidine tests. Blood meals from guinea pig were digested more slowly than those from chickens and snakes. Serum proteins were detected for a similar length of time after feeding (and in similar proportions of samples) in mosquitoes which had fed on either chickens or snakes. The number of eggs per raft and the hatchability of eggs in each raft were also recorded after mosquitoes had fed on one of the 3 types of host. Egg production was significantly higher in mosquitoes that fed on chickens as compared to those that fed on snakes. Mosquitoes which fed on guinea pigs produced the fewest eggs. The source of the blood meal did not influence the hatchability of the eggs. In addition to live hosts, mosquitoes were also induced to feed through membranes on the following blood preparations: citrated snake blood, citrated guinea pig blood, snake erythrocytes in guinea pig serum, guinea pig erythrocytes in snake serum. Mosquitoes that fed on blood preparations containing snake erythrocytes produced significantly more eggs than those that fed on preparations containing guinea pig erythrocytes. Results are discussed in relation to the physiology of digestion and egg production. Speculations on some adaptations of mosquitoes to their hosts are presented.
