75 Tetragoneuria spinigera Selys. 



This has been reported from Manchester by Miss Wadsworth. 

 We found a single female, July 8, 1898, at Chemo Stream, 

 Bradley. 



76. Neurocordulia yamaskanensis Provancher. 



On June 8, 1898, a single female was taken in a pasture near 

 the border of woods, and the same evening my son, R. H. 

 Harvey, took a single male a mile away in a similar situation. 

 At the same locality, and nearly the same date, in 1899, we 

 took four males and one female. We are not aware that any 

 other specimens excepting those taken by Abbe Provancher at 

 Mt. Yamaska, Province of Quebec, in 1875, are in collections. 

 Our specimens are the first taken in the United States, and the 

 species may be looked for in other States bordering on Canada. 



64. Soma'ochlora elongata, var. minor Calvert. 



Early in July, 1898-9, fully thirty males were taken over a 

 small brook in Bradley, which rises in the woods, traverses a 

 pasture and meadow and empties into the Penobscot opposite 

 Orono. In July the brook is reduced to isolated pools, and in 

 very dry seasons is dry in August. We have also taken a few 

 on Vinal Brook, on the west side of the Penobscot, a mile above. 

 They fly over the brook and alight on the grass occasionally, but 

 are usually balanced over the pools, or close to the water between 

 the grassy banks, and, wary as hawks, requiring a very swift 

 swing of the net and a sure aim. We have searched this 

 brook day after day for females and saw only one ; it was ovi- 

 positing and left for haunts unkno\vn before we could catch it. 



77. Somatochlora septentrionalis Hagen. 



A single was taken at Orono, June 18, 1898, over a small 

 bog by my son, Bartle Harvey. This species, so far as we 

 know, has never before been found in the United States. The 

 locality was visited in 1899 but none were seen. 



78. Somatochlora Walshii Scud. 



Taken along the Stillwater River at Orono early in June a 

 single male, and abundantly early in July, 1898-9, over a 

 meadow brook in Bradley (Harvey). In two days we took 

 over twenty-five specimens, all males and saw no females.
