This was reported in a previous paper from a single broken 

 specimen in the University of Maine collection, but it proves to 

 be an abundant species. Fully fifty specimens were taken over 

 small ponds during June and July by the writer and his son, 

 Bartle Harvey. The bloom on some males extended to the sixth 

 abdominal segment. One male had, on the basal half of the 

 dorsum of segments 4-7, a narrow yellow line. On two males 

 these lines were wanting on even 6 and 7. On two males the 

 bloom extended on to the fifth segment. The bloom is not con- 

 tinuous on the segments affected, but there are bare places that 

 show as black spots.

* P. S. — The chief characteristics of " var. minor" compared with its nearest allies, 

 elongata Scud, and Walshii Scud., are the absence of an inferior, transverse orange band 

 on the frons connecting the pale spots of the gense ; vertex and nasus entirely metallic 

 green ; occiput black ; yellow of the mesepimeron an oval spot ; dorsum of 10 and the 

 superior appendages black throughout ; the latter similar to those of elongata, but having 

 (in addition to the two external, lateral, subbasal teeth seen when the appendages are 

 examined from above) a third, larger, subbasal, inferior tooth at a level between those of 

 the two lateral teeth ; inferior appendage two-thirds as long as the superiors. Abdomen 

 30.5, hind wing 33. Maine, as above; Franconia, N. H., by Mrs. A. T. Slosson. I have 

 also a male and a female from Sherbrooke, Quebec, by l'Abbe Begin, which are interme- 

 diate, to some extent, between Walshii and minor. — P. P. Calvert.
