INTRODUCTION

III l'.»12 tlw Qu..|,».<' Soci.-ty fc.r tlir l'r..tc(tion .,f Plants piil.li,sli<.<| "A Pn-
liininary List of the Insects of th<- Province of (iuehee, Part I. -Lei)i(loptera,"
as a supplement to the Fourth H.-ix.rt. The List was prepare.l l.y Mr. Alln-rt
F. Winn, of W.'stniount. now for many years an anient student and enthusiastic
collector of ins..ct life of the Provinc' of (^ueLec, and was well recei\...l (,y lepi-
dopterists of Canada and the United States as fdlinx a long-felt want.

I am pleased to l)e al)le to introduce now the s.-cond part (.f the c(.nteniplate(i
work, namely "A Preliminary Li.st of the Insects of the Province of (iu,"l,ec, Part
II.-Diptera," prepared l.y Mr. Alheit F. Winn of Westmount and M. Cermain
Heaulieu of Ottawa. Thanks to the continued liLeraiity (.f the Hon. Minister
of Agriculture, Mr. .1. K. Caron, the List is published as an Appendix to the
Seventh IJeport of the Quelx'c Society for the Protection of Plants.

The th.nnks of the Society are due Messrs. Winn and Beaulieu for their long,
tedious and voluntary ialK.urs in connection with the nmipilation of the List, and
to Mr. Charles W. .Ii.hnson of the Boston Society of Natural History who very
kindly revised the M.S. and not only added a number of species to our records
but gave much other valuable information and assistance.

Order DIPTERA.

Tliis order nf insects roiiipiiscs tlie ilies" wliich are <'iisily recogiiizilile in possfssilift
only one pair of wiinjs. the place of the seconil pair Ueinn taken liy a pair of knotted threads
known as •'halteres." 'I'lie month parts are formed sucking:. The metamorphosis is complete,
the larvae lieinjr eommoidy known as maggot'' :"'«l nsnally cylindrical and footless.

The order is a very large one. and the speeiis difTer very greatly in habits and economic
importance. Such species as the house fly ainl inos(|iiitoes are not oidy an intolerahle nuiBanec
to man, Imt have of late years come in for a great deal of study in connection with carryinn
diseases. Others, such as the apple maggot, destroy fruits, and the gall-gnats the crops,
Hoth flies and house (lies worry and torment the <-attle. Others again .are heiieficial hy being
parasitic on noxio\is insects, and very many act as scavangers by feeding on decaying vege-
table :md animal matter.

Family TIPULIDAE.

The •■('rune Hies" have narrow wings, long slender bodies and very slender legs. They
resemlile mos(piitoes but are much larger and are iiu)st commonly found in low. marshy land
and at the edges of woods. Their flight is usually for a short distance at a time ami is slow
and awkward, as is also their mode of walking.

The larvae of most species live in the ground feeding on roots just below the s\irface.
