122 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST The Dominion Entomological Laboratory at Fredericton has a collection of Diptera in which the New Brunswick forms are well represented, especially the following families: Tachinjdae, Tipulidae, Tabanidae, Syrphid?e. Dolichopodidse, Muscidse, Asilidee and Anthomyiidae. There is a small collection of parasitic Hymen-optera and one of Formicidae fairly representative of the prov^ince. There are also a few Lepidoptera. The foregoing are a few of the chief insect collections found in the Maritime Provinces. We have heard of others, but have been unable to secure accurate information concerning them. Doubtless still others are in existence, and it is hoped that this article may have the effect of bringing them to light. Up to the present time we have been unable to get word of a single systematic collection of insects in the Province of Prince Edward Island. A NEW SPECIES OF SARCOPHAGA FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA.* BY R.
