Three other species of Mycetophilidae occur among the specimens col- 

 lected by Mr. Bowditch and invself at Green River, Wvoming. but t hex- 

 are indeterminable from their fragmentary condition. One of them. No 

 11. ">4 (PI. 10, Fig. 12), has indeed the remnant of a wing, but the portion 

 of the venation preserved is only sufficiently characteristic to enable us t.. 

 juduv that it belongs in this family The thorax is strongly arched, and the 

 full and tapering abdomen indicates a female. The head is gone. 



The thorax and abdomen are 3.. r > mln long, and the wing prohablv 

 3""" long. 



Another of them, from the same place, No. 4114, has a portion of the 

 base of a wing in which the forking of the fifth and sixth longitudinal 

 veins is verx dose to the base, as in Sackenia, but nothing more can In- 

 said concerning it: the thorax is very globular and the abdomen short.

The third' species is represented by two specimens on one stone (N<>

 is the only tly which had the slightest value found in four days' search at 

 that spot. < )ne of the specimens is a pupa and the other an imaLT". appar
