DIPTERA. 11 



Bequaert collected a number of Diptera around Chittenden, 

 August 1-15, 1916. 



20. The Mount Ascutney area. — This represents a combination 

 of an isolated peak and portion of the Connecticut River valley, 

 from White River to the Windham County line. On July 11, 

 1908, Mrs. Johnson and myself collected along the trail to the 

 summit of Mt. Asctitney. Mr. W. S. Brooks also collected there, 

 July 20 to 23, 1912. On July 10, 1908, I collected at Amsden, 

 near Donner's Hotel and on July 13 at Windsor and at Cornish 

 on the New Hampshire side of the river. A number of inter- 

 esting species have been taken by Mr, A. P. Morse at Woodstock. 



21. The Lower "Green Moimtains" area. — This includes all of 

 Bennington and the western half of Windham Counties. In 

 June, 1910 (4th to 9th) the Society sent a collecting party to Mt. 

 Equinox. Dr. Allen collected small mammals, Dr. Cushman 

 botanized, and the writer collected insects, many new and inter- 

 esting species being obtained. The material collected around the 

 base of the mountain is labeled "Manchester." From June 18 

 to 24, 1915, I collected at Bennington, both east and west of the 

 town. 



22. The Brattleboro area. — A Connecticut River valley area 

 comprising the eastern half of Windham County. On July 14, 

 1908, I collected at Dummerston, or more strictly speaking, 

 West Dummerston, along the West River near Black Mountain; 

 on July 15, at Brattleboro, west of the city. 



MASSACHUSETTS. 



23. The Berkshire area. — This area is not restricted to Berk- 

 shire County, but includes the Berkshire Hills as far east as Shel- 

 burne Falls and Huntington. From June 14 to 19, 1906, the 

 writer collected in the vicinity of North Adams, chiefly near the 

 "Cascade" and Briggsville. The 15th was spent on the summit 

 of Mt. Greylock and the 20th at Cheshire. In May, 1907, Dr. 

 J. A. Cushman collected a few insects while botanizing at Sheffield. 

 In 1917, I again visited Mt. Greylock, going up the trail from 

 Cheshire Harbor, July 25. In August, 1907, Mr. Owen Bryant 

 collected at North Adams and on Mt. Greylock. To note the 

 changes between spring and late summer, some intensive col- 

 lecting was done by the writer at Chester (chiefly along Austin's 

 Brook) on the following dates: August 3 to 6, 1911; May 26 

 to 29 and August 7 to 9, 1912; July 24 and 25, 1913; and August 

 5 and 6, 1914. Mr. Bryant also collected there August 6, 1922. 

 On August 8, 1912, I collected at Washington, the highest point 

 on the Boston and Albany railroad. In 1912, Dr. Cushman and 

 myself made a botanical and entomological trip to the south- 

 western corner of the State, collecting in the vicinity of Bashbish 

 Falls and on Mt. Everett from June 26 to 28, From June 14
