Cove, "Narrows" and Southwest Harbor, from July 10 to 21, 

 though most of the work was done at SaHsbury Cove. During 

 the summers of 1909 and 1912 Dr. Charles S. Minot made a 

 large and interesting collection at Northeast Harbor. In July, 

 1914, Professor Edward S. Morse captured the rare robber-fly, 

 Pogonosoma ridingsi, at Seal Harbor. In July and August, 

 1921, Mr. S. N. F. Sanford collected insects at various localities, 

 but chiefly at Salisbury Cove. 



9. The Lower Kennebec area. — This area includes the Ken- 

 nebec River valley south from Waterville. The principal 

 collector of this region is Mr. C. A. Frost, who has collected for 

 a number of seasons at Monmouth and the near-by town of 

 Wales. Mr. E. F. Hitchings has collected at Waterville. There 

 are in the Harris Collection a number of flies taken by J. W. 

 Randall at Hallowell about 1835. 



10. The Southwestern Maine area. — This covers practically 

 the Counties of Cumberland and York. The writer collected at 

 Orr's Island from July 24 to 26, 1907, and at Naples, July 1, 

 1913. Mr. Arthur H. Norton has collected a number of flies 

 near Portland. Dr. Cushman collected at Harpswell in July, 

 1908, and July, 1913; Dr. G. M. Allen on Bailey's Island, August, 

 1915; Miss M. L. Martin at Bridgeton in 1911, and Mr. A. B.

11. The '^ White Mountains^' area. — Although most of the 

 collecting has been done on or near Mt. Washington, I am in- 

 cluding in this area all of Coos County, and the northern portions 

 of Carroll and Grafton Counties as far south as Chocorua. The 

 limits of what the older authors called the "White Mts." are 

 somewhat vague, but usually refer to the Presidential Range. 



Mt. Washington has always been a favorite collecting ground 

 for entomologists. In the "List of insects taken on the alpine 

 region of Mt. Washington" by Mrs. Annie T. Slosson,i about 

 500 species of Diptera are recorded. Baron Osten Sacken col- 

 lected in the "White Mountains." H. K. Morrison's collection 

 is all marked "White Mts.," although we know that most of his 

 specimens were taken on Mt. Washington. Collections have also 

 been made by Messrs. S. E. Cassino, George Dimmock, F. W. 

 Dodge, S. Henshaw, A. P. Morse, F. Sherriff, L. W. Swett and 

 others. Mrs. Slosson has also collected a number of species at 

 Franconia. 



From June 24 to 29 the writer collected at Bretton Woods 

 and along the Ammonoosuc River toward Base Station, going 

 to the summit of Mt. Washington on the 30th. From July 3 

 to 9, 1914, was spent at the Glen House, collecting on the Alpine
