North Carolina Records of Odonata in 1903. 



BY C. S. BRIMLEY and F. SHERMAN, JR. 



During 1903 we have collected nineteen species of Odouata 

 not previously recorded from North Carolina, besides which 

 we have received records of two others from other parties. 

 Additional localities for species already recorded * have also 

 been secured. 



The collecting was done by the two authors and by Mr. S. W. 

 Foster, who was Mr. Sherman's assistant during the summer. 

 Thanks are due to Mr. R. P. Currie, U. S. National Museum, 

 and Dr. P. P. Calvert, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadel- 

 phia, for the identification of specimens. 



In the following list an * before the name of a species de- 

 notes that the species has not been previously recorded from 

 North Carolina ; a B, S, or F after a record means that the 

 species was taken by Brimley, Sherman, or Foster, as the case 

 may be.
