discernible, and the description of E. calvcrti female, as given 

 below, will serve as well for the female of annex urn. The 

 amount of black 011 abdominal segment 10 of the males varies 



considerably in both species. 



Left superior abdominal appendage of (a) 

 . annexum $ , Sheep Creek, Aug. 6, 1899, 

 and (b) E. calverti rf, same place and date. 

 Both are interno-latero-dorsal views. 



The extent of black on the 

 abdominal appendages seems 

 to depend on age. Teneral 

 individuals of anncxum have 

 the appendages entirely pale, 

 excepting the tip of the lower 

 branch of the superiors and 

 the tip of the inferiors. Older 

 individuals have the append- 

 ages entirely black, excepting 

 the base and lower part of the 

 inferiors. In profile the out- 

 line of the superiors is often 



suggestive of E. gcminatum Kellicott or E. divagan-s Selys. 



Annexum was the most abundant Enallagma observed.
