calif arnica, sE. multicolor, Somatochlora semicircidaris , Tetra- 



goneuria spinigera, Sympetrum madidum, S. illotuin, Libellnla 

 forensis, L. exiista and Pachydiplax longipcnnis. The present 

 list can be considered only as a fair beginning in the study of 

 British Columbia dragonflies. The collecting thus far has been 

 very limited both as to time and locality and careful work 

 throughout the season and extending over this wide and ex- 

 ceedingly varied region would doubtless add many species to 

 the catalogue. The following species have been taken in adjoin- 

 ing territory and may be looked for in British Columbia with 

 some confidence: Calopteryx yakima Hag., Hei&rina calif or- 

 nica Selys., Lestes unguiculatus Hag., L. disjunct us Selys., 

 Herpetogomphus compositus Selys., Ophiogomphus occidentis 

 Hag., O. sevemsHag., Go mphus confraternus Selys., G. sobrimts 

 Selys., Anax junius Drury, sEschna sitchcnsis Hag., sE. clep- 

 sydra Say, Somatochlora albicincta Burm., Sympetrum scoticum 

 Donov., Libcllula nodostida Hag., and L. saturata Uhler. 



In the following list are includied a few notes on certain 

 species taken at Seattle, Washington, and at Laggan and 

 Banff, Alberta. The writer's thanks are due to Messrs. Currie, 

 Harvey and Anderson for valuable material, and to Dr. P. P. 

 Calvert for the comparison of certain specimens with authentic 

 species in his collection. 



LIST OF SPECIES. 

 Lestes congener Hagen. 



Mr. Currie records a single male from Wellington, taken by 

 Dyar, September 2, '03. 



Lestes uncatus Kirby. 



One male and two female specimens taken by Currie at Kaslo, 

 August 5-7, '03. 



Lestes forcipatus Rambur. 



While the other species of Lestes appear to be rather rare, 

 forcipatus is common in a number of widely separated localities. 

 The writer found it common and pairing at Langford Lake, 

 July 20, '02, and again at Glacier where it was common about 

 Lake Marion. Two male specimens from Mr. Anderson are 

 labeled Victoria, June, 1900, and Currie records ten specimens 

 of both sexes from Kaslo on July 9 and August 6, '03.
