Alaska 



Mr. A. B. Parks who has collected insects extensively in Alaska

Mr. C. W. Johnson has kindly furnished me with a record of the 

 occurrence of the stable fly in Bermuda, based on a specimen in his 

 collection bearing the date of January 20.

 or donkeys when traveling at altitudes of over two or three thousand 

 feet. 



There is also a published record by Newstead.^
