THE materials discussed at this time are all from eastern and southeastern China, most of the specimens havi~ ig been secured in Kwangtung and Hainan by]) r. J. Linsley Gressitt and assistants, and in the Province of FuMen, chiehy by Mr. Hsiu-fu Chao, Mr. Joseph Fu, and Professor Tsing-chao Maa, under conditions described below. One further species is based on materials in the Mus@ Heude, Shanghai, received some years ago from the late P~ r'e Octave Piel.Particular attention is now being devoted to the Tipulidm of the high mountains along the Kiangsi-Fukien herder, called the Sia-Ya-Lin, or in their northern portion, the Bohea Hills. Of special interest is the restricted mountain block lying chiefly in Chung-an Hsien that is referred to in the present and subsequent papers as Kuatun or Kua-tun (KaotSn, Quaten), at 27+ 65'N. Lat., 117+ 65'E. Long. This particular area includes what are evidently the highest and most rugged mountains in all Eastern China, and it is believed that a detailed study of the Tipulid~ e will aid in clarifying the somewhat inw) lved problems of distribution in this particular region. As described by Pope (19'~ 1: 410), in referring to the Province of Fukien:"'The deeply indented coast, a result.() f subsidence, is no less rngged and hilly than the interior, though here the low mountains are broken up by plains. Proceeding inland, the mountains increase and the plains diminish until, along the western border, high, steep ranges Mmest completely intercept transportation. It is here that peaks rise to more than 7000 feet and sparsely settled, prim~ evM forests abound. These western ranges arise from a plateau about 1200 feet above sea-level." An important paper by Cheng and Li (1940) summarizes the zoological interests and activities in the Kuatun District, beginning with the arrival in i 873 of Pbre Armand l) avid, who stressed chiefly the vertebrate fauna of this
