A LIST OF THE HEMIPTERA Of Buffalo and. 'Viciriity. By Edward P. Van Duzee. The publication of faunal lists constitutes a very important element in the literature of entomology as in that of other branches of Natural History. They form the basis of our studies on the geo- graphical distribution of the species and throw much light on the origin of our fauna and its relation to that of other countries and zoo-graphical regions. But few local lists of the Hemiptera have as yet been published in this country hence the distribution of many of our species is still largely a matter of conjecture . Of the more important contributions of this character may be mentioned Dr. Harris' Catalogue of the insects of Massachusetts and Dr. Fitches' List of the Homopterous insects of the State of New'York, published in 1S51. Mr. Uhler's List of the Hemiptera from West of the Mississippi River can hardly be classed as a local list but it is extremely valuable for the copious notes on the distribution of many of the species then mentioned. From 1885 to 1891 M. L'Abbe Provancher published Vol. Ill of his Faune Entomologique du Canada ; but, although a work of consider- able magnitude, it has little value, owing to the many erroneous determinations it contains and its author's limited knowledge of this group of insects. Within the last few years several local lists of more or less value have appeared, devoted, in part at least, to the Hemip-.
