Abstract
ONE would like further information respecting the “nocturnal flies” which settle on the udders of cows or goats, and may be seen on moonlight nights. Many lepidoptera and coleoptera and a few hymenoptera are nocturnal, but are not known to adopt the habit described. Of the true flies, diptera, are any nocturnal?
