This widespread species I bred in June 1896 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 species 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.
