List of Tachinidae taken in the City of Philadelphia. 

 By H. S. Harbeck. 

 In the northern part of the City of Philadelphia, Pa., is a 

 number of small woods that so far have been saved from devas- 

 tation, but which I presume in a short time will be cut down 

 to make ready for improvements. In such places I have found 

 the very best kind of collecting for Diptera. 



To enumerate all the specimens collected would take up too 

 much space of this Journal, but to give an idea of the excel- 

 lent collecting to be had in these places, I give a list of the 

 species of one family, the Tachinidae, which I have collected 

 in the past few years. 



Sixty-two species are here listed, and my thanks are due to 

 Mr. D. W. Coquillett for the determination of most of the species 

 and to Dr. L,. O. Howard, of the Nat. Mus. for his kindness in 

 allowing me to send my material to the Mus. for determination.
