14 FAUNA OF NEW ENGLAND. 



his collection are from these two places. Mr. Owen Bryant while 

 in Cambridge collected a number of species at Fresh Pond. 



The work conducted by the Gipsy Moth Laboratory at IMel- 

 rose Highlands has greatly added to our knowledge of the Diptera 

 of this region, especially of the parasitic species, and I am greatly 

 indebted to those connected with the laboratory for many cour- 

 tesies. To those connected with the Corn-borer Laboratory at 

 Arhngton, I am also indebted for many favors. Messrs. C. L. 

 Anderson and G. W. Barber have collected a number of inter- 

 esting flies in the vicinity of Arhngton and Lexington. Mr. 

 L. W. Swett has collected at Bedford and Dr. R. H. Howe, Jr., 

 and the writer at Concord. 



28. The Plymouth area. — This includes all of Plymouth County 

 and the town of Cohasset, which is a part of Norfolk County. 

 The work in this area has been largely confined to the coastal 

 portion from Cohasset to Manomet. Cohasset was for several 

 years the home and collecting ground of Mr. Owen Bryant and 

 his intensive collecting at all seasons of the year resulted in 

 adding many new and rare species. The writer collected at 

 Plymouth and Manomet, July 25 to 28, 1905, and at Scituate, 

 May 15, 1915. Dr. J. A. Cushman has collected at Bridgewater 

 and Manomet. Mr. W. S. Brooks has also on several occasions 

 collected at Manomet and Mr. S. N. F. Sanford at Marshfield. 



29. The Cape Cod area. — This includes all of the land east of 

 Buzzards Bay and the Cape Cod Canal. Being the most north- 

 eastern portion of the Upper Austral it presents many interesting 

 features bearing on distribution. In 1904 the writer collected 

 at Provincetown, June 24-26; Eastham, June 27-28; Chatham, 

 June 30 and July 1; Hyannisport, July 3 and 4; and Barnstable, 

 July 5. Mr. A. P. Morse collected at Provincetown September 

 6, 1890, and June 29 and September 4, 1891. The Marine 

 Biological Laboratory has brought to Woods Hole many persons 

 interested in entomology. Messrs. J. A. Cushman, C. T. Brues, 

 A. L. Melander, R. C. Osborn, A. H. Sturtevant, W. M. Wheeler 

 and the writer have all collected Diptera there. Dr. Cushman 

 has also collected at Pocasset; Mr. E. F. Hitchings at Sandwich, 

 June 19, 1908; Mr. O. Bryant at Waquoit, September 21, 1910; 

 and Mr. G. W. Barber at Yarmouth. Through the kindness of 

 Mr. L. D. Baker the writer made an interesting collection at 

 Wellfleet, August 13-18, 1919. 



30. The Nantucket area. — This includes the islands of Nan- 

 tucket, Tuckernuck and IMuskegct. The insect fauna of the 

 islands has not been studied thoroughly, but many interesting 

 species of Diptera have been obtained by several collectors. 

 Doctors G. M. Allen, J. A. Cushman and H. T. Fernald have 

 collected on Nantucket at various times. Mr. A. P. Morse 

 collected there September 9-11, 1913; Mr. S. N. F. Sanford,
