198 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [September, 



6S. Enallagma exsulans Hagen. 



Abundant early in July along the Stillwater River at Orono 

 (Harvey). This was taken, in 1891, at Manchester, by Miss 

 Wadsworth, and is evidently common in the Penobscot valley, 

 although we have previously overlooked it. 



Subfamily 3, Gomphin^. 

 26. Hagenius brevistylns Selys. 



This species is quite common in Chemo Stream, Bradley, in 

 July. We have taken about 40 specimens during the past two 

 seasons, and they were nearly all males. They were flying up 

 stream mostly, and nearly all were taken from a dead limb 

 about four feet above and projecting over the water. They 

 are not very wary, and one can readily wade up to them. Of 

 those taken, one male showed a peculiar malformation of the 

 left fore wing in which the cross vein of the triangle is hori- 

 zontal and the cell in front of it curved ; seven single cells on 

 the distal side represent the double row in normal specimens ; 

 the double row of border cells below the triangle and the row 

 of single cells at the anal angle are reversed. We took a 

 single 9 ovipositing in shallow, running water, Russell 

 Stream, Northeast Carry, Aug. 29, 1899, and Aug. 28th a 

 single old S with tattered wings on a rock in the West Branch 

 of the Penobscot, Northeast Carry. These are late dates for 

 this species.

A Trip to Montreal. 

 By H. H. Newcomb. 



It was my good fortune to spend a couple of days in Mon- 

 treal during the earl}^ part of last October. Previous to my 

 coming I had writen to several of the Lepidopterists of that 

 beautiful city, and the cordiality of their replies filled me with 

 eager anticipation ; nor was I disappointed, for a more cour- 

 teous and eptertaing lot of collectors would be hard to find. 



Soon after my arrival I was met by Mr. Albert F. Winn, the 

 President of the Montreal Branch of the Entomological So- 

 ciety of Ontario, and by him advised how best to spend my 

 time in order to see as many of the collections of Lepidoptera 

 as possible during my short stay.
