NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 
Dolichopodidae.—Mr. ‘Timberlake exhibited a small collection 
of local Dolichopodidae. Fight species are apparently of immi- 
grant origin and of these, three belong to Psilopus (patellifer 
Thoms., pachygyna Macq., and pallidicornis Grimsh.), and one 
each to Hydrophorus, Medeterus, Asyndetus, Dolichopus, and 
Hypocharassus. The recently described Dolichopus exsul Aldrich 
(Proc: UL S.Nat. Mus61) Art.255 ps ls, * May, 1922) "is very, 
abundant in favorable places in the mountains such as Pauoa 
flats, on Tantalus, and also has been taken in Honolulu. It is 
widely distributed throughout the Islands and has been collected 
on Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and Hawaii. Of the endemic 
species about twelve were shown, none of which agrees with 
those described by Grimshaw.
