15. The Hampton area. — This area was made primarily to 

 cover the coastal area of the State but might include the lower 

 part of Strafford and Rockingham Counties. I have called it 

 Hampton, the home of ijiy friend, Mr. S. Albert Shaw, an all- 

 round entomologist of the old school, who has been making a 

 local collection of all orders for years and has secured many new 

 and interesting species. Most of the records from this area are 

 therefore his. The collection of the College of Agriculture at 

 Durham contains many Diptera which I had the privilege of 

 studying several years ago. Dr. Allen has taken a few interesting 

 species at Rye Beach; Dr. George Dimmock at Canobie Lake; 

 and Mr. P. R. Lowry at Durham and Hill.
