Vulgaris, pur pur ea, modesta, were not seen during greater 

 part of summer, but appeared in swarms in early September, 

 when they frequent the sand roads of the pine barrens in the

 few captured in early September. 



Mr. George Greene said marginata had been found on the 

 light sand at Avalon. C. Greene and Harbeck at same place 

 had found dorsalis attracted to decayed meat. 



Dr. Castle said he had seen marginata right on the beach at 

 Tybee Island. 



Dr. Calvert exhibited a pair of Calopteryx apicalis Bur-
