superior appendages, and in size and color of pterostigma, but 

 differs in shape of tip of superior appendages, viewed from 

 above, the Chicoutimi $ having, the tip shaped like fig. 7, 

 Ent. News, 1894, p. 11. The original (from Lake St. Regis, 

 N. Y.), of my fig. 5 (1. c.), also has the broken stripes on the 

 sides of the thorax, but has the pterostigma of front wing 



t 



measuring only 3 mm. on its costal edge ; length of front 

 wing, 45 mm. A female from Lake St. Regis has stripes on 

 sides of thorax very nearly identical with those of this 9 from 

 Bay of Islands, Newfoundland. It is rather small abdomen 

 (exclusive of appendages) 45 mm., hind wing, 43 mm.; 

 pterostigma smaller, the costal edge of pterostigma of front 

 wing, 3.75 mm. You will see, therefore, that your Grand 

 Lake $ is very nearly identical with the Lake St. Regis , 

 which, in 1893, I called clepsydra. Whether the breaking up 

 of the stripes on sides of thorax entitles the holder to a dis- 

 tinct specific or varietal name I will not now decide." 



The appendages of this Newfoundland $ are in bad condi- 

 tion. The color pattern of thorax of both $ and 9 are very 

 different from any other specimens of the large series of clep- 

 sydra I have seen from Newfoundland, Ohio, Michigan and 

 Indiana. In these two the thoracic pattern is more suggestive 

 of juncea though, of course, the lateral stripes are not broken 

 in juncea. Aeshna hudsonica, as Dr. Calvert writes me, seems 

 to be hardly distinct iromjiincea, even as a variety.
