College. 



On the 15th of June of the current year, in company with Mr. G. F Kay and H. J. 



Davis, 1 left Sudbury on an exploration trip through Northern Ontario. We proceeded by 



way of C. P. R. to Metagama and thence almost due north by canoe and portage to Night 



Hawk Lake, a distance of some 200 miles. After spending about six weeks in the region 



between Nighthawk Lake and the Lower Abitibi we returned by Blanche River and Lake 



Temiscamingue to the [Tpper Ottawa, and thus back to civilization, (See map. Fig. 60.) 



P'iy. (10. Map of Northern Ontario. 



Throughout the whole trip we were constantly pestered by flies of various species, and I 

 shall endeavour in this paper to convey some idea of the habits of these fly-tormentors, and ~ 

 our experience with them.
