A few follow which have been found in Asia Minor and Algiers 

 which probably visit Europe ?, and those found in a fossil state, some 

 of which appear to be quite of an extra-European form. Thus the 

 total number of ascertained European Libellulae are 98 species, of 

 which we have 46 British only, 3 or 4 of which are doubtful. 



The geographical distribution of them is given for the different 

 countries of Europe. But the numbers from the other quarters of the 

 globe may be expected to be far more numerous, if we can form an 

 opinion from the examples received from the river Amazon collected 

 there by Messrs. Bates and Wallace ; and we have reasons for knowing 

 that the Baron de Selys is now preparing materials for a much larger 

 work on the Order Nevroptera, but which will necessarilv take a 

 long time to accomplish, from the extreme difficulty in visiting the 

 various collections of Europe to ascertain aft the species, several of 

 which are unique. We will only further recommend these works to 

 all who wish to study this order as indispensable.
