^SCHNA MIXTA. — I note that in W. J. Lucas' book on 'British 

 Dragonflies ' the above-named insect is described as restricted to the 

 South-East of England. It may be of interest to your readers to 

 know that I caught a pair, male and female, at Totnes in South 

 Devon during the last week of September, 1917. They were flying 

 alongside a large pool close to the Dart. They were difficult to 

 capture, occasionally taking high flights on to some neighbouring 

 trees and resting there for some time. x\lthough I saw at least 

 another pair in the same locality, and a male at a similar pool two 

 miles away, I was unable to capture another specimen. — k. H.
