 This is a continuation of the Hst in En'tomoi.ocicai. Xi:\\s. 

 June, 1910. Since the publication of that article, much of the 

 undetermined IQOQ collection has been worked over and an im- 

 mense amount of new material collected. The total number 

 of species definitely known from the county to date is about 

 125, which is more than is known from most States of the 

 I'nion. 



A few errors in the first part, most of which must be 

 charsjed against the author, should be corrected : On page 24S. 

 thirteenth line in under 2, should read, "for several hundred

Xew collecting grounds: Some of the new localities visited 

 proved to have an extremely rich Tipiilid fauna. The more 

 notable of these are : 



"Psocid Glen." on the west bank of the Cayudutta creek, 

 between Johnstown and Sammonsville ; a small creek flowing

 low ahitude (550 feet), the fauna is distinctly Canadian. 



"Prairie T^ake Bog" in Caroga Township (1.870 feet): a 

 bog in the tertiary stage, supporting a perfectly normal oxy-

 Xemopanthus inncronata. Kalmia aiii^ustifolia. Aiidrouieda 

 polifolia. Chamaedaphnc calyculata. Chiogcnes hispidula. J'ac- 

 cinium macrocarpon. Aronia nielanocarpa, Sarraccnia purpu- 

 rea Drosrra rotundifoUa. D. intermedia. Myrica (^ale. and a 

 variety of sedges. 



Since the publication of the first part, the acceptance of 

 Meigen's 1800 paper by most Dipterologists has changed many 

 of the genera used in tne Tipulidae. The names are given in 

 Coquillett's "Type-Species of North American Diptera," but 

 are widely scattered amongst the other genera of flies, so that
