were seen to be identical. Since my arrival in Queensland 

 late in 1911, this is the first time that this species has been met 

 with, though my experience with all classes of hotels over the 

 state (not to mention many coastal steamers) has been rather 

 extensive (Brisbane, Roma, Mackay, Finch-Hatton, Towns- 

 ville, Charters Towers, Ayr, Bowen, Proserpine, Lucinda 

 Point, Ingham, Seymour, Halifax, Innisfail, Cairns, Nelson, 

 Hambledon Junction, Babinda, Double Island, Herberton, 

 Yungaburra, Malanda, Mareeba,, Aloomba, Knranda, Cook- 

 town, Port Douglas, Mossman, Thursday Is., Cape River 

 (farm house) and Hughenden). I have been to but one hotel 

 in Brisbane, one in Mackay, but to about four or five in Towns- 

 ville; in the former two places the hotels were of the first 

 class while none of those in Townsville were poor, and only 

 the few specimens met with were seen in the poorest of the 

 four, the one which was cheapest, less well constructed, man- 

 aged and so on and catering more to families than to tran- 

 sients. Thus, I have thus far met with the species only in large 

 towns while the poorer hotels of the hamlets and settlements 

 seemed to be free of them.

In the course of an ecological study of the dragonfly 

 nymphs of Cascadilla Creek, made at Cornell University in 

 1912-13, the results of which were published in the NEWS for 

 January, 1915, some observations on Odonata were made,
