ENTOMOLOGICAL RESULTS (14): 



THE ODONATA. 



By Rolla p. Currie. 



The Odonata collected by Professor Trevor Kincaid during 

 the Harriman Expedition comprise eight species, represented by 

 eighty-nine specimens. None of these appear to be new ; yet 

 the collection is interesting in that it serves to extend the known 

 range of certain forms and to add to our knowledge of the 

 Odonata fauna of Alaska. 



No paper on the dragonflies of this territory has been 

 hitherto published; and only three species, additional to the 

 eight collected by the Harriman Expedition, have been pre- 

 viously reported from Alaska. These are JEnallagma annexum 

 (Hagen), yEschna sitchensis (Hagen) and ^schna clepsydra 

 (Say), thus making eleven species. 



Family A GRIONID^^. 



Subfamily AGRIONIN^.

One female belonging to some species of this genus was taken at 



Fox Point, July 26-28. The species of Lestes are separated, mainly, 



by the characters of the male abdominal appendages, and females taken
