PHILIP P. CALVERT. 31 



Sie die Handschrift gut kennen lenieii ; dieselben stamen aiis uuserer 

 Sanilung u. siiid dadiirch iiberfliissig geworden, weil B. die sie be- 

 nennenden Unica bei seineni Scheiden von hier niit nach Cordova 

 genoiTien hat. Ich will uoch beraerken dass Burnieister niir rait 

 Gansekielen schrieb u. die Feder stcts in der Tintenfasse stecken 

 liess, infolge dessen sie iiner sehr vveich war." 



Similar labels exist on some of Burraeister's types at Cambridge, e. g. 

 that of Agrion saiicium, and the reproductions here given are mainly 

 for the purpose of aiding others in the recognition of types which I 

 have not found, if such are still in existence. 



A few labels of similar style and handwriting exist at Halle for 

 species subsequently described by Charpentier, Rambur and Hagen. 



The Burnieister species do not stand in the drawers in the order 

 in which they are numbered in the Handbuch. All specimens, with 

 the exception of a few with pin-labels of evidently much later date 

 and other handwriting, were left by me in the same positions and under 

 the same labels as I found them. Upon such specimens as, after 

 study, I believed to be Burraeister's actual types, I placed the fol- 

 lowing written pin-label, " Considered by nie as Burraeister's type 

 of his .... [here the name of the species] .... P. P. Calvert, 

 May, 1896." In the following pages such specimens are indicated 

 by (X). The specimens as I found them, were for the most part in 

 good condition. 



The following species of Burraeister's Handbuch are now at Halle. 

 The new species in the lists are marked with an asterisk.* 



(n) From Sommer's collection. 



Agrion 3. amalia'^ Libellula 40. domifia 



Calopteryx 5. c.aja ? " 41. pulla* [lows 56) 



" 11. chinensis "' sabina (no number, fol- 



Libellula 11. lateruUs^ " 75. semicitrea''-

(h) From Germar's collection. 



Agrion 27. phallatum Libellula 6. hsematodes* ?

* The following " Anmerk." is from page v, of vol. ii, of the Handbuch : " Der 

 Stern ('■■) im Text hinter einer Familie, Gattung oder Art, bedeutet so viel als 

 milii oder nobis, und zeigt an, dass die Gruppe von mir unter diesem Nanien 

 zuerst aufgestellt worden ist." Tliis explains the presence of the * on many of 

 the written labels quoted later.
