common and wi(iely distributed species have been omitted. Similarly, 

 many records for Erie, Fvilton, and Tompkins Counties have been abljre- 

 viated or omitted, since their inclusion would but lengthen the paper 

 and add little to the data; such records are indicated by " etc." 



Fulton County, with a known crane-fly fauna of more than two hundred 

 species, probably has the largest local list as known for any region of 

 similar size in the world. The other counties that are well known are 

 Tompkins, Cortland, Herkimer (Osten Sacken, Needham, and Alexander), 

 Albany (Young), and Erie (Van Duzee). Considerable data from Hamil- 

 ton County (Young), Genesee County (Knight), and Chenango County, 

 are Hkewise available. The region around New York City is not completely 

 known, the most valuable collections from that section being those made 

 by Frost in Westchester County and by Banks in Nassau County.
