 I decided to try my fortune among the Odonata, with the result 

 that I captured, between September, 1902, and September, 1903,

 * British Dragonfiies,' published in 1900. 



Thinking there must be many readers of the 'Entomologist' 

 who, like myself, are deeply interested in this important and

 notes. 



I shall consider the species according to the classified order

 took but two, viz. striolatam and scoticiun. My first capture of 

 the former was on August 8th, at the Black Pond, Esher, and I
