134 entomological news. [April, 'o6 



were taken in the almost barren Magdalens, and 3 of these 

 are not represented in the Newfoundland collection : Agrion 

 resolutum, Enallagma hageni and Aeshna juncea, all widely 

 distributed species which more extensive collecting would 

 probably show as belonging to the Newfoundland fauna. In 

 fact, Aeshna hudso7iica Selys mentioned above is probably only 

 a variety at the most, of juncea. Dr. Atkinson collected in 

 Newfoundland only two days, July 7 and July 21, 1901, and at 

 two localities, Bay of Islands, and Grand Lake, yet his collection 

 contains 14 or possibly 15 species, and, in its richness of 

 Aeshnas and Somatochloras, it is, for its size, the most inter- 

 esting I have ever studied. The study of these Somatoch- 

 loras from time to time has delayed the recording of Dr. At- 

 kinson's captures till this late date. 



Enallagma ebrium. Hagen. Eight males from Grand Lake, 

 July 21, 1901. 



Enallagma calverti, Morse. Five males from Bay of Islands, 

 July 7, 1 901. No Enallagmas in the collection agree with the 

 color pattern of Enallagma boreale Selys, based on a single 

 specimen of each sex taken in Newfoundland. But the 

 description of the abdominal appendages of the male of boreale 

 applies almost certainly to the species later described by Morse 

 as calverti. In so far as it will probably be possible for some 

 of our European friends to determine this matter certainly by 

 a study of the type of boreale, I have here recorded the species, 

 in conformity with recent usage, as calverti. 



E7iallagma cyathigerum, Charp. Six males from Bay of 

 Islands, July 7, 1901. Four female Enallagmas in the collec- 

 tion I have not attempted to determine specifically. 



Aeshna clepsydra Say. Bay of Islands, July 7, 1901. 3 $ 

 and 1 9 ; Grand Lake, July 21, 1901, 1 $ and 29. To this 

 species for the present are also referred 1 $ , Grand Lake, 

 July 21, 1901, and 1 9 , Bay of Islands, July 7, 1901. These 

 two specimens were referred to Dr. Calvert, who wrote, under 

 date of January 27, 1904, "The $ Aeshna from Grand Lake, 

 Newfoundland, is like a % from Chicoutimi, Quebec, in the 

 broken stripes on sides of thorax,* in denticulated carina of 



* ' Two other d" o" from Chicoutimi have the stripes of thorax apparently not broken.'
