THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 287 



The following words, written by Dr. Fletcher in the lifetime of Mr. 

 Taylor, and in the paper above referred to, convey much in few words, 

 and were justly due to the deceased : "Mr. Taylor is an indefatigable 

 collector and a generous correspondent, who considers no trouble too 

 much to make observations or secure specimens when specially desired- 

 In his parish work he is painstaking, gentle and self-denying — always- 

 ready to help. A clear and forcible preacher and an earnest liver, who. 

 shows in his works that religion is not an accessory of every-day life, but 

 an integral part of it." 



Mr. Taylor died of paralysis, on August the 22nd last, and was burred 

 in the cemetery at Nanaimo. He leaves to mourn his loss a married 

 daughter and two sons. The funeral service was read by a dear friend 

 of the deceased, the Venerable Archdeacon Scriven. 



It is to be hoped that measures will be taken to secure for the benefit 

 of posterity the very valuable conchological and (remaining) entomological 

 collections left by Mr. Taylor. T. W. F. 



ON THE DIPTERA OF BAJA CALIFORNIA, INCLUDING 

 SOME SPECIES FROM ADJACENT REGIONS.— II.* 



BY C. H. T. TOWNSEND, LIMA, PERU. 



This paper embodies a report on a lot of flies sent me for determina- 

 tion some years ago by the California Academy of Sciences. They were 

 secured on a later expedition than those mentioned in the first paper, f 

 Unless otherwise stated, they were collected jointly by Dr. Gustav Eisen 

 and Mr. Frank H. Vaslit, who, together, visited and collected in San José 

 del Cabo in September, and Tepic in October and November, 1894. 

 Species already listed in the first section appear here with their original 

 numbers. 



*rhe present paper has been in manuscript for nearly ten years, but with 

 many others was never reached by the Publication Committee of the Cal forria 

 Academy of Sciences, owing- to lack of funds. It was returned to me many 

 years ago, has since that time been overlooked, and is now offered on account 

 of the fact that the results it contains appear to have lost none of their interest 

 during the lapse of time.
