Dr. Power has the credit of introducing this species into the 

 British Fauna, having discovered a single example in the au- 

 tumn of 1855, in Hammersmith marshes; and in July last I was 

 agreeably surprised at recognizing a second specimen in the 

 possession of a friend, who had captured it a few weeks pre- 

 viously on the bank of a pond, above fifty miles from the 

 above locality, thereby proving that it is to be found in more 

 than one district.
