Fischer of Buffalo, X. Y., and myself met Mr. Wm. Schneider and Mr. 

 A. Neuman, both of St. Louis, got our nets out as soon as we got off the 

 train, saw and captured /'. aja.r wa/s/iii, Lyraenas and Nisoniades plen- 

 tiful, went over to the Meramec River, captured A. genntia, A. olympia 

 rosa, Ancsa andria, P. troilus, tnriins and aja.r u'als/iii, '/' irns. I'. </>/- 

 uienis, P. protodice vernalis, and many others, which kept us busy. The 

 handle of my net broke about noontime, and as I had nothing to repair 

 it with, made the rest of my captures with the frame and net in hand. I 

 gave it up at I 30 P. M. Counting up my four hours catch, I had 21 A. 

 olyijipiarosa, 48 A. genutia-Vjg 19?, n N. brizo, 7 N. jnrena/is, 5 1 

 /ioratii<s,8 A. andria-s 1 ^ 39, 10 P. ajax wu/s/iii, i /'. troilus, 2 /'. 

 tiunits, 3 P. epiinenis, i T. irns. 3 P. protodice vernalis, and 15 Lyccsna. 

 I didn't have time to paper them as I caught them. I had two cyanide 

 bottles, with one I took them from the net, the other I used to store them 

 in. I used the cyanide bottles for the small ones only, the large ones I 

 papered as I caught them. I don't know how many the rest of the party 

 caught, but judging from the way they were chasing around, I guess 

 they all made good catches. Mr. Fischer of Buffalo thought Meramec 

 Highlands a fine collecting place, so all entomologists who intend visit- 

 ing the St. Louis World's Fair next year, should visit Meramec High- 

 lands and take their nets along. CHAS. L. HKINK. 



HENICOPS. Two species of the genus I lenicops Newp , as defined by 

 Latzel, have been reported from North America. One, the well-known 

 European species fulvicornis Mem., ranges entirely across the northern 

 section of our country. I have found it in good numbers in Utah, Idaho 

 and Oregon ; and it was previously known from New York, Minnesota, 

 etc., and as far south in the Mississippi valley as Arkansas. The second 

 species, dolichopus Chamb., known first frc,m the upper parts of the 

 \Yahsatch mountains, I have since taken also at high elevations in the 

 Rocky, Uintah and Sierra Nevada Ranges. From a study of Newport's 

 type species, Pocock has now so restricted the genus Henicops as to ex- 

 clude both the species mentioned above. The first, fulvicornis, must in 

 consequence revert to the genus originally erected for it by Meinert, /. e. 

 Lamycter ; while dolichopus must go into another genus, 7.y^ethol>ii<-.. 

 differing in having pores upon the last five pairs of coxte instead of upon 

 only the last four, in a different arrangement of the spiracles, and in 

 other features. R. V. CHAMBERLIX. 



TELAGRION D/ECKII (ODONATA) AT RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA - 

 June 10, 1903, found the species common around the east edge of Felts 

 swamp or marsh, a large open space of several acres filled with water 

 and mud from ankle deep to nearly waist deep but very little open 

 water ; instead grown up with marsh grass, arrow arums, bonnet lilies. 

 and in summer with introduced Egyptian Lotus On the east edge the 

 marsh extends into woods and tall bushes. The males were found
