The dating of "Insecta Britannica Diptera".
The precise dates of early entomological publications, which are all important are frequently hard to establish. For this reason we are including these here:
*Walker, F. 1851. Insecta Britannica, Diptera. Volume 1. Reeve & Benham, London. vi + 314 p. (31 December). The Preface is dated December 1851. It might have been issued in early 1852 because it was presented to the Entomological Society of London on 2 February. Walker states in the preface that Haliday is responsible for the characters and synoptic tables of the Empididae, Syrphidae, and Dolichopodidae.
*Walker, F. 1853. Insecta Britannica, Diptera. Volume 2. Reeve & Benham, London. vi + 297. Putatively dated 1853.
*Walker, F. 1856 Insecta Britannica, Diptera. Volume 3. Reeve & Benham, London. xxiv + 352 p. (31 March). An advertisement bound at the back of this volume is dated 31 March.
*Walker states in the preface that Haliday is responsible for the Addenda and corrigenda, p. xi-xxv which were intended for Vol. 4. This volume was never published.
