426 MAJOR W. S. PATTON. 



These six species of Musca represent all those known to me from the Australasian 

 Region, but I have no doubt that there are several others which have yet to be 

 discovered. It is to be regretted that I have no specimens of Musca from any part 

 of New Zealand, and I trust that those who are interested in this important group 

 of fiies will send me material from this part of the region. 



In my next series of notes I shall record my studies of the species of Musca from 

 the Ethiopian Region, a very large collection of which Dr. Guy A. K. Marshall has 

 kindly placed at my disposal.
