Forest. 



10. Cordulegastcr annulatus. — A fine insect, common in the Forest,

13. ^schna mixta. — Occasionally taken — the smallest and least

 easily distinguished on the wing from the following one. 



15. ^. cyanea. — Fairly common in summer and autumn. 



16. jE. grandis. — Not common in the New Forest. Mr. Clark (Ent.

forms of the female (vars. mclanogastrum and erythrogastum), 

 with black-bronze and crimson abdomens, respectively, are fairly 

 frequent. 



23. Isclinnra pumilio. — Common in a few localities in the south of 



the Forest, probably breeding in boggy ground. It w^as re- 

 discovered there, June 3rd, 1900, by Mr. F. M. B. Carr and 

 myself. The var. aurantiacum is frequent. 



24. /. elegans. — Fairly common and well distributed. 



25. Agrion puella. — Fairly common. 



26. A. mercuriale. — In several localities — common in some — appear-

 It seems to like a stream running through a bog.
