This widespread species I bred in June 1806 at Galesburg 111. 



and in June 1898 at Ithaca N. Y. It was not observed at Sara- 



nac Inn. I have always found the species about the borders of 



ponds of permanent nature.

This exceedingly attenuated ,sx>ecies is quite similar in appear- 

 ance and habits to the preceding, and its nymph, which I have 

 several times bred, appears to me quite indistinguishable from 

 that species. I did not find it at Saranac Inn.
