Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monographs of the Diptera of North America, Vol. 1: Prepared for the Smithsonian Institution After having acquired a general knowledge of the system by the study of these three works (or, if not familiar with the German language, of the two latter only), the best plan will be to con centrate special study on one, or, at the utmost, on a few families of Diptera, and to consult the monographic papers relative to them, which are not difficult to procure, in order to obtain a com plete and sure knowledge of characters within a more limited field. For even the smallest field will always be found wide enough to afford opportunities for the most interesting discoveries. This mode of obtaining a knowledge of the system capable of serving as a solid foundation to valuable publications is certainly a long and tedious one. It may be considerably facilitated, however, by the use of a well determined collection of typical specimens of all the families and genera, and it will afi'ord me much pleasure to ex tend all assistance in my power to those who may prefer the latter course; for both my wish to become better acquainted with the Diptera of North America and their desire to study the system might well coincide to supply the wants of both parties.
