304 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [NoV., '05 



February 5, 1905. — Explored country for a mile or two back 

 from the coast during the morning in an effort to find Agri- 

 onines. Spent the remainder of the day in the mangrove 

 swamp. With the exception of Payitala flavesce^is and Orthemis 

 ferruginea no dragonflies were seen away from the mangrove 

 swamps, and here only Libellulines were seen. These were 

 fairly abundant especially in sunny spots. 



February 6, 1905. — At Lake Amatitlan, at the extreme lower 

 end of the lake and along its outlet just below the lake. Ama- 

 titlan has an elevation of 4212 feet. 



February 7, 1905. — Along south shore of lake. Scarcitj' of 

 dragonflies disappointing. Several acres of level marsh land 

 were fairly filled with white water lilies in full bloom, but over 

 or about this area not a dragonfly was to be found. The south 

 side of the lake near outlet is largely sedgey though the descent 

 to deep water is rather abrupt. In the afternoon along the north 

 side of the lake. A road follows around this side which is pre- 

 cipitous, without beach in many places, the lake bed descend- 

 ing vertically, sedges in small isolated areas. During this day 

 a large Argia seen nowhere else in Guatemala was taken. 

 This note is inserted for the reason that nearly all the species 

 of dragonflies collected were taken frequently and at many 

 localities. 



February 8, 1905. — Along south side of lake and about out- 

 let in the forenoon. In the afternoon en route Amatitlan to 

 Guatemala City, collecting a few dragonflies at Laguna when 

 the train stopped there. Laguna has an elevation of 3877 

 feet. 



February 9, 1905. On the return trip to the Atlantic coast. 

 A few specimens collected at Agua Caliente. 



February 10, 1905. — A few specimens collected at Sanarate. 



February 11, 1905. — Sanarate to El Rancho. 



February 12, 1905. — El Rancho to Gualan. 



February 13, 1905. — Gualan to Puerto Barrios. A few 

 dragonflies collected to-day as opportunity offered when the 

 train stopped at stations.
