(ORDER ODONATA.) 



By E. B. WILLIAMSON. 



According to Banks' Catalogue one species of Odonata, 

 Libcllula qnadrimacnlata Linne, has been reported for Wyo- 

 ming. Thirteen other species have been recorded for the Yel- 

 lowstone. From July 19 till August 6, 1899, the writer, a 

 member of the Wyoming Fossil Fields Expedition, observed 

 the species considered below. Others were seen but not taken. 

 Doubtless Wyoming will be found to be less favored odonato- 

 logically than man)- of the other States ; the number of species 

 to be recorded will be small when compared with the number 

 now known to live in New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, 

 and other localities.
