Essai sur les Myodaires. Memoires des Savants etrangers de 1'Academie des 

 Sciences de Paris, vol. n. Paris, 1830, 813 pp. 



This massive work contains an original systematic arrangement of all 

 the Calyptrate and part of the Acalyptrate Muscidse. About eighty new 

 North American species are described. Many of the genera, after being 

 ignored for half a century, have of late been adopted and newly defined, 

 especially in Tachinidas. The work is intrinsically valuable, and for its 

 time wonderful. The characters now used for separating the genera of 

 Tachinidas were mostly introduced in this volume. It is very rare and 

 expensive. 



Histoire Naturelle des Dipteres des Environs de Paris. 2 vols. Paris, 1863. 

 Vol. i, xvi and 1143 pp.; vol. n, 920 pp. 



This work was published after Desvoidy's death, and contains some 

 defects due to imperfect editing of his materials. It is devoted almost 

 wholly to European Tachinidae, Dexidse, Sarcophagidse and Muscidse. 

 " Contains short descriptions of a few N. A. Diptera ; no new ones."- O. S. 



Note.- Osten Sacken, "Record of My Life Work in Entomology," 180- 

 192, 1903, gives an interesting and lucid account of the two main works 

 cited above.
