was slow and unsteady for a dragonfly. (The colours of the specimens 

 taken June 25 are pale, indicating recent transformation, a condition 

 which explains the peculiarities of the flight). 



Kind No. 10 (older individuals of D. rubicwidula and D. obtrusa) 

 did not appear until late in July, but speedily became very abundant, and 

 during the last part of the summer was by all odds the most common 

 species, even outnumbering the little Enallagma ebrium at Simpson's 

 Pond. The back of the abdomen of this species in life was of a brilliant 

 red. 



It may be well to add, by way of postcript, that the species of Odonata, 

 other than those named above, which have been recorded from Nova 

 Scotia are, with the original place of record : —

 1862. 



Gomphus parvulus, Selys, Bull. Acad. Roy. Belg., XXL, pt. 2, p. 56, 

 1854 ; in his Monog. Gomph., p. 158, 1858, the locality is given as based 

 on "un male dans la collection du British Museum."

 Neur. N. A., p. 138, i86r, "Selys' collection," Selys, Bull. Ac. Belg. (2),

The precise localities are not given in these records quoted. 



There is much reason to think that the Odonate fauna of Nova Scotia 

 embraces many more species than the twenty-two known at the present 

 time to inhabit the Province.
