Reg: Difference between declarations

Hi,
Can anybody tell, what is the difference between the following 2 declarations?

List<Insurance> insuranceList = new ArrayList<Insurance>();
ArrayList<Insurance> insuranceList = new ArrayList<Insurance>();

This is in any decent book or tutorial you know.
What do you think the difference is?

Don't double post. Locking this one.
