Libellula depressa.— There are six specimens, two males (1, 2) and one female 



(4) being without labels. A female (3) is from Whittlesea Mere, July, 1837 (J. 0. 

 in red ink). A female (5) bears three labels, Heme Bay, 1842 (J. C), depressa ? 

 (J. O), and Glanvilles Wootton (at side) ; as does also another female (6), W. Mere 

 (J. C. in red ink), July 16, 1837 (J. C. filled in), and Peterborough (at side). In 

 the case of No. 5, the first and third labels do not agree. 



Libellula quadrimaculata. — Four males, (7) Wn. Chester (?) 1843; (8) Mid- 

 dlemarsh (J. C. in pencil), and May 11, 1819 (J. C. filled in) ; (9) Scotch, 1847 ; (10) 

 Chant, 46. 



L. q. praenubila, var. — Two females, (11) Parley (J. C. in pencil) ; (12) Whittle- 

 sea (J. C. in pencil), and June 26, 1818 (J. C. filled in). 



Libellula fulva. — Six specimens, of which a male (13) and a female (15) are 

 unlabelled. A male (14) is from Hume (J. C. in pencil), July 5, 1837 (J. C. filled 

 in) ; another male (16) has Parley Heath (at side) ; while a third (17) is labelled 

 Ireland, R. W* 1819 (J. C), and Dingle (at side). A female (18) is dated May 

 19, 1819, and has Hurne (at side). 



Libellula cancellata. — Again six specimens, three males and three females. Of 

 the males (19) has a blank pink label, (21) has Chant, 46, while (23) has June 24, 

 1842 (J. C. filled in), and Whittlesea Mere (at, side). The three females each bear 

 two labels (20) Ent. Club, and in addition, from C. W. D. 29/1/1877 (C. W. in 

 pencil) ; (22) Farr, and H. Y. ; (24) Aug. 16, 1837 (J. C. filled in), and Hunting- 

 don (at side). 



Libellula avrulescens.— Seven examples, one female (28) bearing no label. Of 

 the rest five males are thus described : (25) Cosmore Common, July, 1839 (J. C.) ; 

 (26) July 1, 1839 (J. C. filled in), and Middlemarsh (at side) ; (27) Scotch, 1847 

 (J. C. probably), and N. B. (at side) ; (29) Ireland, 1819, R. W. (J. C), and Ireland 

 (at side) s (31) Land's End, Augst, 1864 (C. W.), and Land's End (at side). The 

 seventh, a female (30) is from Boseombe Chine, June, 1846 (J. O). 



Libellula flaveola. — This is one of the moi'e interesting species, owing to the 

 doubt as to whether it breeds in this country, the uncertainty of its appearance and 

 perhaps also the paucity of females pointing to its being a migrant. The cabinet 

 contains seven examples, six males and one female, one of the males (35) being 

 unlabelled. So few British females are known, that this well authenticated example 

 (34) is of considerable importance. Two males (32, 33) and the female (34) appa- 

 rently belong to the same catch, they bear labels (32) Whittlesea, July 16, 37 

 (in MS.) ; (33) basal is (J. C), and July 16, 1837 (printed label filled in); (34) 

 Whittlesea (J. C. in red ink), July 16, 37 (J. C), and in pl.t July 16, 37, Stilton 

 Fen (J. C). No. 36 is labelled Ent. Club, (37) has two labels, basalis (Stephens' 

 writing probably), and Mr. Stephens. (38) has Whittlesea Mere (at side). 



Libellula striolata. — Twelve specimens, one male (40) and two females (47, 49) 

 being unlabelled. The other males are— (41) Charmouth, Oct., 67 (C. W.) ; (43) 

 Constantino, 1873 (printed label, 73 filled in) ; (48) Charmouth, Sept*. 1845 (J. 

 O), and Sep. 3, 1845 (J. C. filled in) ; (50) labelled as the last, but with 



Richard Weaver, probably. t In pluribus (?),
