SHARP EYES 



sucking proboscis. Only last summer, while sketching, 

 I observed one of these murderous flies hovering about 

 me, with a huge bot-fly impaled on its horny beak. 



I beg to introduce to my Connecticut friend the 

 LapJiria fly, warranted to bring confusion to horse-flies 

 and rural authorities in natural history.
