sexes of aiiripcnnis. From the related species with dark col- 

 ored bodies jcsscana is separated at once by the reddish yellow 

 unspotted wings of the male and the red stigma of fhe male 

 and the burnt sienna stigma of the female. From flavida, 

 jcsscana is separated, among other characters, by the absence 

 of dark colored basal wing markings. 



About Enterprise are many small lakes, locally called ponds. 

 Collections were made at eight of these, four north of the 

 town and four east. All ponds are of the same general char- 

 acter, though some are more marshy than others. They lie 

 about twenty feet below the general land surface among tur- 

 pentine pine hammocks. The soil is sand and there are no 

 inlets or outlets to the ponds. The water is clear and cold and 

 fit to drink. Seven of the ponds were without any Libcllula 

 inhabitants. At the eighth pond Libcllula jesseana, and no 

 other Libcllula, was taken. In J. H. W.'s notes this eighth 

 pond, in the absence of any local name, is designated as Figure- 

 8 Pond. It lies two and one-half miles (estimated) north of 

 the town, going out the hard shell road past the cemetery. 

 It is about a quarter of a mile east of the road and about half 

 a mile due north of Buckeye Homestead Pond. The latter 

 pond can be seen from the road. Gleason's Pond lies about 

 three quarters of a mile east of Buckeye Homestead Pond. 

 North of Gleason's Pond lies Wiley Pond. 



Figure-8 Pond is about one-quarter of a mile long and one- 

 eighth wide, shaped roughly like the figure 8. It has a solid 

 sand bottom, deepening more rapidly than other ponds visited, 

 being waist deep four or five feet from shore. Grassy sedges, 

 shoulder high, grow from the water's edge out into the water 

 for a distance of five or six feet. Then, within this zone, is a 

 clear water zone eight to twelve feet wide, within which is 

 another belt of vegetation several feet wide and rising above 

 the water one or two feet. There are no bushes in the water 

 and no marsh. The banks from the water's edge are steep 

 sand with sparse dead grass and scattered young pines two 

 to ten feet high. All around the pond the higher ground had 

 been recently burned over but fire had reached the pond only 

 at a few points, leaving some green pines near the water's 

 edge.
