Butterflies. 



So little time was spent away from the immediate vicinity of 

 lakes and streams (in fact most of my time was spent in the 

 lakes and streams) that the number taken of such conspicuous 

 insects as butterflies is not large. These were sent to Mr. J. L. 

 Graf of Pittsburg. j

not taken.

DiPTERA. 



The Diptera, exclusive of Syrphidae, were sent to Professor 

 Jas. S. Hine and the Syrphidae were sent to Professor R. C. 

 Osburn. Their lists follow: 



The following eighteen species of Diptera are all well known, 

 with the exception of what I have called Laphria terraenovae. 

 Macquart described this species from specimens taken in New- 

 foundland and it appears that it has not been recognized since. 

 His description is very short and consequently it is with some 

 doubt that the specimens before me are given the name, but the 

 points mentioned agree so well that I know of no good reason 

 why they might not be of the species in question. 



The collection contains the finest series of Chrysops excitans 

 Walker that I have ever seen. This species is not rare, but its 

 habitat is in such high latitudes that specimens are not often 

 taken. Over twentv specimens were taken at Heyden, Ontario, 

 August 0th.
