SOME ACALYPTRATE MUSCID.E ' 



By a. L. Melander 



By an interesting coincidence Mr. J. R. Malloch, then of the 

 United States National Museum, and I made an independent 

 study of the small flies grouped about the Agromyzidse. Mr. 

 Malloch's paper on the genus Agromyza is to appear in the Sep- 

 tember issue of the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 

 while his discussion of the other genera is to come out in the 

 Proceedings of the National Museum. The first installment of 

 my paper was printed in the September issue of the Journal of 

 the New York Entomological Society, which was received at 

 the Bussey Institution, through the mails, on September 8. The 

 remainder of this article, dealing with the Geomyzinae is to appear 

 in the December issue of that publication. 



The following notes were made on a recent visit to the National 

 Museum and to the Philadelphia Academy of Science, and are
