244 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [October, 



During^ the past Summer (1894) I noted the following species 

 at Wood's HoU, but the observations have not the slightest pre- 

 tension to being exhaustive: 



* Enallagma durum Hag. July 9, 19. 



" civile Hag. July 5, 9, 19 (ovipositing), Aug. 8. 



" aspersum Hag. July 9. 



Ischnura verticalis Say. July 5-Aug. 8. 

 Anax Junius Dru. Aug. 8. 



* Libellula auripennis Burm. July 19 (ovipositing), Aug. 8. 



" semi/asciala Burm. July 9. 



" pulchella Dru. July 9, 19, Aug. 8. 

 Plathemis trimaculata Dru. July 9, 19, Aug. 8. 

 Micrathyria berenice Dru. July 5, 9, 19 (ovipositing, (^ clasping 9 ), 



Aug.*8 (do.). 

 Celithemis elisa Hag. July 19 (ovipositing, (^ clasping 9). 

 Diplax rubicundula Say. July 9, 29, Aug. 8. 

 Mesothemis siuiplicicollis Say. July 19. 



The Elizabeth Islands are a small chain stretching in a south- 

 westerly direction from the mainland at Wood's Holl. The 

 chief members of the group, from the mainland southwestwards, 

 are Nonemeset, Uncatena, Naushon, Pasque, Nashawena and 

 Cuttyhunk. On August 10, 1894, I took the following species 

 at fresh water ponds on Nonemeset: 

 Enallagtna civile Hag. * E. doubledayi Selys. E. aspersum Hag. 



And on July 17, 1894, at fresh water ponds on Cuttyhunk, I 

 found: 



Lestes uttguiculala Hag. Tramea sp. {Carolina L. ?) 



" forcipata Ranib. * Libellula auripennis Burm. 

 * Enallagma durum Hag. " pulchella Dru. 



" civile Hag. Diplax rubicundula Say. 



Ischnura verticalis Say. Mesothemis simplicicollis Say. 

 Anax Junius Dri^ 



Of these records, the most interesting is undoubtedly that of 

 Enallagma doubledayiixova Nonemeset, as this species has hitherto 

 been known from Florida only. The six males which I secured 

 agree completely with Floridan specimens. 



It was not my good fortune to find Anax longipes Hag. which 

 Dr. Hagen took at Wood's Holl Aug. 26 and 27, 1875 (see 

 " Ent. Mo. Mag." xx, p. 169, 1884), although I was on the 

 lookout for it.
