1809. I 81 



this name, but of these, two females (252, 3) seem to me to be A. puella and 

 A. pulchellum respectively : being, however, without history of any kind, they are 

 unimportant. Three males (257, 2-59, 263), and a female (2o4) are unlabelled. 

 The remaining twelve are : — a female (216) brunnea Ev. ; a female (247) brunnea 

 Ev.,a.nd Evans (printed) ; a male (248) Thorne (J. C. red ink), cyathigerum (J. C), 

 Aug 11 : 1837 (J. C, yellow label filled in) ; a male (249), R. C. Pond Gl. Wootton 

 (C. W.) ; a male (250), July 9, 1842 (J. C. filled in), Wolmer (J. C.) ; a female 

 (251; 16 (printed), and a blank yellow label ; a female (255), May 31, 1843 (J. C. 

 filled in), Glanvilles Wootton (at side) ; a male (256), Norfolk July. 1905 (C. W.) ; 

 a male (258), Portland, and Portland (at side) ; a male (260) cyathigerum (J. C. ? ), 

 31/5/42 (J. C); a male (261), July 6, 61 (J. C. ?), July 17 1861 (yellow label 

 filled in), and a small blank yellow label ; a male (262), Parley (J. C). In 

 addition with this species I should class : - a male (245) placed with A. ha.ttulatum, 

 with a blank red label, and Sutherland 'at side) ; a female (285) unlabelled ; and 

 a male (290) labelled Sutton Broad July 1905 (C. W.) ; both placed with 

 A. fulclieUmn in the cabinet. 



Agrion puella. — Sixteen insects are placed as belonging to this species; two, 

 however (270, 276), I should assign to A. pulchellum. Of the remaining fourteen 

 two males (265, 273) and three females (275, 277, 278) are without labels. The rest 

 are labelled as follows: — two males (264, 266), Whittlesea (J. C. red ink), and a 

 blank pink label ; a male (267) W. Mere (J. C. red ink) ; a male (268) Whittlesea 

 1844 (J. C), and a blank pink label ; a female (269) Marl-pits New For. July 

 4th, /44 (J. C.i, ? furcatum?, and July 4, 1844 (J. C.) ; a female (271) June ? 1, 

 1844 (filled in), 6/1/44 (J. C), furcatum ? ¥ , and Glanvilles Wootton (at side); 

 a male (272) Whittlesea (J. C. ? red ink) and a blank pink label; a male (274) <J 

 furcatum Clip, imt $ rufescens Leach M. B ; a, female (279) Gl. Wootton 1842 

 (J. C). — In addition two placed with A. pulchellum I consider belong here: — a 

 male (280) Freshwater 1880 (pink ink). Freshwater (at side) ; and a female (287) 

 Bentley (J. C), and Glanvilles Wootton (at side). (252) placed with A. 

 cyathigerum has already been referred to. 



Argion pulchellum. — Sixteen insects stand to this name, but (280, 287), as 

 already mentioned, I should assign to A. puella and (285, 290) to A. cyathigerum. 

 Those appearing with the reversed name A. armatum have already been discussed. 

 The remaining specimens are: — three males ('^^81, 2, 3) puella Ev (red ink); 

 a female (284) July 1905 ;C. W.), Norfolk (at side) ; a female (286) cyathigerum 

 Ev puella Ev; a male (288) puella £■«. (red ink); a male (289) lunulatum Ev.; 

 a female (291) Whittlesea July 1844 (J. C), and a blank pink label ; a female 

 (292) H, and interruptum ; a female (293) fr. Farr (J. C.) ; a female (294) N, and 

 a blank pink label ; a female (295) with four labels — a blank pink one, Whittlesea 

 I, H. 42, Whittlesea Mere Whitwell 1845 (J. C), and interruptum ?. It must be 

 borne in mind that this species and A. puella are very closely allied, by some 

 indeed considered scarcely distinct. Consequently identification, especially of poor 

 specimens, is not always satisfactory. 



Agrion mercuriale. — Of the eight examples, four males (296-9) are unlabelled, 

 but the last has New For (at side), and this is evidently intended to refer to all 

 four. A male (300) has June 17 1832 (filled in), and Winchester (at side); 

 another male (301) has June 2 1837 (filled in), and <? Cosinore Comn 1837
