Under the general title of " The Crane-flies of New York," thewriter has published two papers, the first1'dealing with the distribution and taxonomy, the second' with the biology and phylogenyof these flies. Since the appearanceof the general list of speciss,lin which 267 specieswere enumerated as occurring in New York,ten additional specieshave been found which are recorded in thispaper. This additional list is made possible by the kind interestof several of the entomologistsof New York City, chief of whomare Dr. Joseph Bequaert, Mr. William T' Davis, Mr' Howard
