BY R. HENDERSON, 12 Armadale Street, Glasgow. 



NOMENCLATURE. 



Verrall, List of British Diptera, 1888 [5 species recorded are not in 

 VerralPs List]. 



I am much indebted to Mr. A. Ross, who joined me after the death of my 

 friend and colleague, Mr. G. W. Ord, and to Mr. A. Adie Dalglish, who sent 

 me a large number of specimens. Mr. Verrall and Mr. E. E. Austen, of the 

 Brit. Mus., have inspected the specimens marked and t respectively. 



For the most part the list covers only 1 899, 1900, and part of the present year.
