Leucorhinia hudsonica (Selys). 



A pair in coitu and a separate male taken May loth, and a 

 female taken July 13, '02, have been sent me from Vancouver 

 by Mr. Harvey, and Currie has the following records : Kaslo, 

 June yth, i female (Dyar), June nth, i male, and Ainsworth, 

 June 8, '03, i male and i female (Dyar). The writer has 

 tak^n the species at Banff, Alberta, July 15, '02. 



Leucorhinia proxima (Hagen MS.) Calvert. 



Currie records this species for Kaslo on dates ranging from 

 June i to July 9, '03, six specimens in all, both sexes repre- 

 sented. 



Sympetrum rubicundulum (Say) var. assiinilattim (Uhler). 



Two females from Harrison River taken by Mr. R. V. Harvey, 

 June 30, '03, apparently belong here. While they are some- 

 what paler than assimilatuvi in my collection from North Da- 

 kota and the wings are flavescent only at the base, the size and 

 general appearance correspond well and the vulvar lamina is 

 exactly the same. The female, which Currie records as >S. ma- 

 didnm, taken at Kaslo, August 5, '03, also belongs here. I have 

 examined this specimen very carefully and Mr. Currie has re- 

 examined it and writes me under date of March 22d, " I am 

 inclined to agree with you in considering it assimilation." 



Sympetrum obtrusum (Hagen). 



Currie records two females of this species from Kaslo, Aug. 

 7, '03. A female from Langford L,ake, July 20, '03, and 

 another from Victoria (Anderson) I would place here on 

 account of the size and general appearance, but as the end of 

 the abdomen is lacking in both they cannot be determined with 

 certainty. 



Sympetrum pallipes (Hagen). 



Five males and two females of this species were taken at 

 L,angford L,ake, July 20, '03. Two females were taken at Seat- 

 tle, Wash., July 15, '01. Dr. Calvert has kindly compared 

 these with authentic specimens and writes me that they "agree 

 perfectly." 



The writer feels quite certain that this and the two preced- 

 ing nominal species are only varieties of 6". rubicundulum Say.
