all tlie specimens of conspersa I have seen before, but are dark only in tlie 

 upper half as in ahdominalis. The latter is a E-ocky Mountain form which 

 I have taken at Banff and in Manitoba, and also along the Severn River, 

 Ont. (Walker.) The above specimens were taken on Anticosti Island by Dr. 

 J . Schmitt in 1903.

Odonata. 



This order has not yet received from Canadian entomologists the atten- 

 tion which it deserves; but an effort will be made to draw more attention to 

 it, as there are doubtless a great many interesting species in Canada which 

 have not yet been recorded. The few collections which have been submitted 

 to specialists, have all contained species of interest, and this attractive order 

 presents a field well worthy of study. The life-histories of many species are 

 unknown, and the habits of the larvae of all make them very desirable objects 

 for an aquarium. Dr. E. M. Walker, of Toronto, has collected for some 

 time and has now a collection of about 65 species found in Ontario. He has 

 kindly named any specimens I have submitted to him, and the following 

 notes are made from letters which he has written. The species mentioned 

 are the most interesting of a large number which have been submitted to 

 him or which he has taken himself recently. 



Calopteryx orqvabilis, Say. Algonquin Park, Ont., July 25, 1900, (Prof. 

 John Macoun). The same locality, Aug. 31, 1902, (Dr. E. M. Walker). 



Ophiogomphus rupinsvlensis, Walsh. North Iliver, Algonquin Park, 

 Aug. 13 to 30, 1902-03, (Walker). 



Hagenius brevistylus, Selys. Lake Simcoe, July, Algonquin Park, Aug. 

 20, (Walker).
