"206 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



A male of Msclina graudis, Linn, was captured between June 

 8th and 16th near Drumreaske in Co. Monaghan in Ireland 

 (Goodman) ; and several were seen in September at Sudbury in 

 Suffolk along the Eiver Stour, as well as one hawking round a 

 tree in the garden towards dusk while it was raining fast (B. S. 

 Harwood). On August loth JE. jtmcen, Linn, was seen at 

 Loganlee in the heart of the Pentlands (W. Evans). yE. ci/anea. 

 Mull, was met with on August 1st in Alice Holt in Hampshire as 

 well as m other localities in the neighbourhood (E. A. C. 

 Stowell) ; in the New Forest on September 5th (Lucas) ; and at 

 Sudbur_y (Harwood). Anax imperator, Leach was sighted in 

 Princes Coverts near Claygate in Surrey on June 7th, and the 

 same species w'as frequent at the Black Pond on Esher Common 

 in Surrey on the 10th, while on the 14th it was seen flying over 

 a small pond on Effingham Common in Surrey (Lucas). In 

 June it was plentiful at Yateley in Hants (Gr. T. Porritt). 

 On June 21st it was met with at Boldermere near Wisley in 

 Surrey (Lucas), and on July 9th in Alice Holt (Stowell), while 

 on August 18th it was recognised at some pools (no doubt 

 brackish) on the shore near Mudeford in Hants (Lucas). As 

 late as September 1st a somewhat worn male A. imperator was 

 taken by the side of Crockford Pond on Beaulieu Heath in the 

 New Forest (Lucas). 



LiBELLULiD^. — On June 7th Cordidia anea, Linn, was seen in 

 Princes Coverts, while on the 10th it was frequently seen at the 

 Black Pond, when two males were taken ; on the 21st it was 

 noted at Boldermere (Lucas). Lihelbda qiiadrimacidata, Linn, 

 was captured on Alay 24th near Cadbury Camp in Somerset, and 

 was seen there again on the 31st flying high round some oaks 

 catching flies (T. F. Hewer). Early in the season E. R. Speyer 

 met with the species frequently near Shenley in Herts, and 

 thought there might have been an immigration. On June 10th 

 it was very common at the Black Pond, when two examples of 

 var. pr(enuhila, Newm. were seen, one being secured (Lucas) ; 

 ■on the 14th it was observed on Eftingbam Common (Lucas). It 

 was met with at Alton, and on May 27th at Hampage Wood near 

 Winchester, both in Hants (Stowell). Both sexes were taken 

 between June 8th and 10th near Drumreaske, Co. Monaghan, in 

 Ireland (Goodman). On June 21st an example of var. infemihila 

 as well as the ordinary form were noted at Boldermere (Lucas). 

 From July 23rd-25th the same species were found at Wellington 

 College in Berks (Harwood). A very teneral male of Libellida 

 fulva, Miill. was taken at Hickling in Norfolk between May 24th 

 and 28th (Coward). Early in the season Speyer found Libellida 

 depressa, Linn, to be very frequent at Shenley, so much so that 

 he thought there must have been an immigration accompanied 

 by a smaller number ofL. quadiimacidata, though there was no 

 direct evidence of this having occurred. It was noted in Princes
