A PEELIMINARY LIST OF THE DIPTERA OF KANSAS. 



BY P. H. SNOW. 



inconsiderable amount of Kansas material in this much 



neglected order of insects has been accumulated in the 

 museum of the University of Kansas as a result of the various 

 collecting expeditions of the past twenty-five years, although 

 chief attention has been directed to the Lepidoptera andColeoptera. 

 The fortunate opportunity of securing the services of Dr. C. F. 

 Adams as a special student of the Diptera during the past year 

 and a half has enabled the author of this paper to present this 

 preliminary list of species.
