 4. Lestes uncatus Kirby. 



A few specimens of this species were captured at the lagoon on the Giant's 

 Tomb Island on July 14, 1912. A pair was observed in copula and the male was 

 captured. 



The nymph has been characterized by Needham ('03)). and the writer ('14). 



Full-grown nymphs were taken in large numbers by Mr. Wodehouse from 

 a small lake on Fitzwilliam Island, Georgian Bay, on June 29, 1912. 



5. Lestes disjunctus Selys. 



A very common species in all still marshy waters. It was the commonest 

 Lestes m 1912. The first adults captured in 1907 were taken on July 23 but they 

 had probably been on the wing for a week or more. In 1912, they were first noted 

 on July 13. 



The nymph has been described by the writer ('14). 



6. Lestes rectangularis Say. 



This species is rare in this vicinity. A male and two females were taken in 

 a marshy spot on the Go Home River on July 7, 1908, and another somewhat 

 teneral male was captured at the Giant's Tomb Island, July 14, 1912. 



The nymph is described by Needham ('03) and the writer ('14). A number 

 of them were taken by Mr. Wodehouse from a small lake on Fitzwilliam Island, 

 Georgian Bay, on June 29, 1912. 



7. Lestes vigilax Hagen. 



This was by far the most abundant Lestes in 1907 and 1908, frequenting the 

 same stations as L. disjunctus, which it far outnumbered during these years. It 

 was very much scarcer in 1912. 



We have found the long slender nymphs in abundance and have bred a number 

 of them. They have been described by Needham ('08) and the writer ('14). 



The first adults taken in 1907 are dated June 28th and it was abundant in the 

 latter half of August. In 1912, on the other hand, it was not noticed until July 16 

 and had practically disappeared by the end of the first week in August. 



8. Lestes inaequalis Walsh. 



A single male was captured while flying over a sphagnum bog on the edge of a 

 small lake, July 3, 1907. Much further search on this and subsequent occasions 

 failed to reveal another specimen. 



This is the only Canadian record for this species. 



Goenagrioninae. 



9. Argia moesta putrida (Hagen) Calvert. 



This is a very abundant dragonfly about rocky shores during July and August. 

 Though common everywhere on the open bay and river, it is rather more abundant 

 on the latter, especially in the neighbourhood of rapids. The nymphs are common
