Here, as at Buena Vista, we found it well worth while to 

 search piles of logs and of sawed lumber in the railroad yards 

 and about mills. We got in this way a very good lot of spe- 

 cies as the accompanying list will show : Melanophila longipes, 

 M. drummondi, Chrysobothris caurina, Buprestis langii, B. ad- 

 jeeta, Clerus nigriventris, C. sphegeus, Thanasimus undulatus, 

 Asemum mneatam, Griocephalus agresfis, C. productns, Phyniato- 

 des dimidiatus, Pachyta Uturata (light and dark forms), Acmceops 

 proteus. A. pratensis, Leptura 6-maculata, L. sanguinea, Mono- 

 hammus scutellatus and Pagonocherus mixtus. Altogether we 

 considered our visit to this vicinity as being a successful one, 

 although the neighborhood is probably by no means as rich 

 as in former days before the development of its mineral re- 

 sources so ruined the beauty which must have marked it pre- 

 vious to the advent of the railroad and the smelter. 



CALOPTERYX ANGUSTIPENNIS SELYS IN WESTERN 

 PENNSYLVANIA.* 



By E. B. Williamson, Pittsburgh, Pa. 



On June 18th of this year Mr. D. A. Atkinson, J. L. Graf, 

 H. D. Merrick and myself visited Ohio Pyle Falls, where in 

 the course of a few hours we succeeded in taking about 40 

 specimens of the species named above. Males predominated. 

 Ohio Pyle is situated on the Youghiogheny Eiver. This river 

 rises in Garrett and Preston counties, West Virginia ; flows 

 north into Pennsylvania, thence flowing north by northeast 

 and emptying into the Monongahela at McKeesport, about 15 

 miles from the Ohio River. The Youghiogheny in its entire 

 course is about 300 miles long. Ohio Pyle is in Fayette 

 county, in the Laurel Ridge of the Allegheny mountains, at 

 altitude of about 2,000 feet. It is about 12 miles north of the 

 State line, in latitude 39° and 50^ north and longitude 79° and 

 30^ west. At Ohio Pyle the Youghiogheny has an average width 

 of about 50 yards. Hills, several hundred feet in height, 

 covered with deciduous trees, rise abruptly from the banks of 



* This brief paper is remarliable in that it gives an account of what Is probably 

 the most remarkable case of re-discovery of a rare species ever made aniong the 

 North American Odonata. N o other insile of an^^usiipennis has been known to 

 exist than that in the British Museum, sent bj' Abbot from Georgia a century 

 ago. Three females have been previously known. See Hagen, Psyche, v, p. 244.
