In 1941, the writer and his wife, with the cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Harrison, established seven stations throughout the park that were made the basis for special study of the Tipulidae. These collections were made between June 21st and 30th and represent the early spring fauna, particularly at the higher altitiudes. A collection series was again performed between July 10th and 13th of 1942. The seven base stations established in 1941 are: Sylvan Lake and vicinity, altitude 8,000 ft.; 2) Canyon Camp, altitude 7,800 ft.; 3) Tower Falls, altitude 6,500 ft.; 4) Northeast Entrance, near Silver Gate, MT, altitude 7,200 ft.; 5) Obsidian Creek, altitude 7,300 ft.; 6) Elk Park, near Gibbon Meadow at 7,000 ft.; and 7) Emerald Pool, Black Sand Geyser Basin, altitude 7,275 ft.
