A number of species are recorded from New York in papers 

 of a more general scope, as mentioned below. 



For the collections which are now first recorded, the writer is 

 indebted to — 



Mr. J. Percy Moore, who gave specimens from Lake St. Regis, 

 Franklin Co., and Hotel Champlain, taken in September, 1890, 

 quoted below as (M) ; 



Mrs. A. T. Slosson, who sent dragon flies from various 

 localities, as indicated by (SI) ; 



Mr. G. D. W. Williamson, who made collections at Dobb's 

 Ferry in 1888 (W) ; 



Mr. W. Sheraton, who collected in Keeseville, Essex Co., in 

 1894 (S). 



A few specimens taken by the writer at Saratoga Lake in 

 August, 1889, are included (C). 



Finally, some data are derived from the collections of the 

 American Entomological Society (A. E. S.) 



Mr. Sheraton also sent some notes on the general character 

 of the localities near Keeseville at which his collections were 

 made, and which are here reproduced. 



"As to the dragonflies, they were all obtained along a section, 

 of the length of about a mile, of a small and rather sluggish 

 brook flowing from Auger Lake by an extremely circuitous and 

 tortuous course to the Au Sable river. The section in which the 

 collecting was done includes, first a rough pasture field, the brook 

 in this part being pretty thickly bordered on one side by alders, 

 so that collecting was chiefly confined to the opposite bank, near 

 which there were also several large holes from which clay for 

 brick-making was formerly dug. These are now full of stagnant 

 water, and abound in animal and plant life. All my collecting 

 was done here (locality i), except the last two days, which 

 were devoted to the part of the brook below this. At the lower 

 end of this first portion, the brook passes under a bridge 

 into "locality 2", where it is bordered by hay-field's at first, then 

 by rough pasture land. One day [Aug. 10] was devoted to this 

 portion, and one [Aug. 16] to "locality 3" which follows it, and 

 is bordered entirely by hay-fields. Of these three divisions 2 and 

 3 are pratically identical in character and in species observed, but
