INSECT TYPES IN NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 

 The following list of insect types is placed on record for the 

 convenience of students and also as a tangible evidence of the 

 growing value of the New York State collections. The court of 

 ultimate appeal in the identification of a species is found in the 

 type — frequently unique. A knowledge of the whereabouts of 

 all such specimens is therefore very important to the systematic 

 worker. The long list of the writer's Cecidomyiid types is not 

 included, since it is planned to indicate the location of these in 

 the monograph on this group, now almost complete.
