Extract

The potentialities of Siam as a field for discovery have hitherto been almost entirely neglected by collectors of Diptera, and in consequence, apart from an occasional description of a new species, little or nothing has been published upon the Siamese representatives of this Order. It follows that the only available method of making determinations of such material is the exceedingly laborious and wearisome one of reading through descriptions of the older authors like Wiedemann and Macquart, which, though based on types collected in other parts of the Oriental Region, may possibly be found to apply to one or other specimen from Siam.
