1900, July 2, one , three orange 9 9 on margin of Runnel 

 Pond. Identified by Philip P. Calvert, Ph. I)., who informs 

 me that this species has not before this been found in Maine ; 

 although he has taken it on P>lock Island, off the Rhode Island 

 coast. On the day I found this species I saw many other 

 orange 9 9 on the lily pads and nearly all out of reach. The 

 one was with an orange 9 when taken. The place, Round 

 Pond, was an ideal one for dragonflies. 



On June 20, 1901, I saw a Coriln/c^-a^fcr uiacitlcitus oviposit- 

 ing by forcibly striking the water with the tip of her abdomen. 

 I did not find one of the eggs, and the 9 escaped after being 



in the net.

As is well known to most of the systematic entomologists of 

 the country but little collecting has been done in the Adirondack 

 Mountains, although the White Mountains of New Hampshire, 

 an adjoining State, have received a good deal of attention from 

 various well-known collectors. As long ago as 1 878 Dr. Lintner : 

 remarked upon this fact, and after referring to some of the work 

 done in the White Mountains says : " Meanwhile, the extensive 

 Adirondack region with its numerous lofty mountain peaks, its 

 deep gorges, its hundreds of lakes perhaps second only to the 

 White Mountains in point of interest to the entomologist of any 

 locality in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains has 

 been permitted each year to bury within itself its entire ento- 

 mological wealth. Previous to the collection noticed in this 

 paper, scarce an insect had been drawn from it. At the 

 present, nothing ha^ been reported of its mountain insect 

 fauna. Many new spe< > doubtless to be discovered there, 



and the first comparison of its fauna with that of other elevated 

 and more northern regions is yet to be made. It is not impos-
