ADDITIONS TO THE KANSAS LIST OF DIPTERA. 



So far as determined, nearly half of the species of Diptera taken 

 by me in Kansas are new to the state lists, the preliminary one be- 

 ing published by Dr. F. H. Snow, in the Kansas University Sci- 

 ence Bulletin, volume II, No. 5, to which additions were made by 

 Mr. F. F. Crevecceur, in Transactions of the Kansas Academy of 

 Science, volume XX, pages 90-96. By actual count, the names of 

 142 different kinds of flies are herewith added to the Kansas list. 

 In this number, two species and one variety are based on my own 

 descriptions. 



Unless especially denoted, all specimens were collected in Doug- 

 las county.
