Odonata. 



Some interesting collections of these insects have been made in 1908, 

 and much material collected in previous years, has been gone over and 

 carefully identified. Dr. E. M. Walker has been most helpful in naming 

 material, and we are all very grateful to him for his continued kindnesses. 

 Dr. Walker says : "In the Odonata, about 400 specimens from the Prairie 

 Provinces have been examined. These were taken by Messrs. Willing, 

 Criddle, Alexander, Fletcher, and Wallis. A list of these will give a fair 

 idea of the Odonata fauna of this region, which is at present a terra incog- 

 nita in this order. A considerable number of species was also collected by 

 Mr. A. G. Huntsman, of the Biological Department, University of Toronto, 

 at the new marine Biological Station on Vancouver Island, B.C. A good 

 deal of material from the East has also been gone over. It comprises collec- 

 tions from the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie, belonging to Mr. E. B. William- 

 son, of Bluffton, Ind., from Georgian Bay, Fort William, Nepigon and 

 Temagami, made by the writer, and from Youghall, New Brunswick, by 

 Mr. Arthur Gibson." 



Dr. Walker has provided the following records :■ — 



Lestes congener, Hagen. Aweme, Man., Aug. 29, 1907, 1 male, 

 (Griddle); Westbourne, Man., July-Aug., 5 males, 6 females, (Wallis). 



Nehalennia irene, Hagen. Westbourne, Man., July 27-29, 1908, 1 

 male, 2 females; Winnipeg, July 7, 1908, 1 male, 1 female, (Wallis). 



Agrion lunulatum, Evans. Aweme, July 4, 1905, 1 male, (Griddle); 

 Winnipeg, July 6, 1908, 1 male, (Wallis); Garndufi:, June 18, 1905, 1 male; 

 Pegina, 2 males, 1 female, (Willing). This is the first time this Old World 

 species has been reported from North America. I had thought it a new 

 species, but Mr. K. J. Morton, of Edinburgh, Scotland, who has specimens 

 from Pedvers, Sask., pointed out to me its true relationship. The Canadian 

 specimens differ slightly from European ones with which they have been com- 

 pared and may be distinct, but more material will be necessary to determine 

 the point (E. M. W.).

 (Gibson); Little Carp Piver, Algoma, Ont,, June 29, July 6, 1907, 5 males,

 females. This is the extreme northwestern I'mit of this species' range, so 

 far as known, (E. M. W.).
