and Sympetrum striolatiim, all dated July 16th, as well as 

 Enallagma cyathigeram and Erythromtna naias, likewise taken in 

 July. Furthermore, Mr. South was good enough to give us 

 Enallagma cyathigerum, male, caught by himself at the Black 

 Pond, Surrey, on August 13th. 



From the Eastbourne district Mr. Harold Bosley kindly sent 

 us A. piiella (two teneral males, near Pevensey, May 24th), A. 

 pulchellum (a teneral pair, near Pevensey, May 24th ; two pairs, 

 Eastbourne Marshes, June 14th), and Ischnura elegans (two 

 males, Eastbourne Marshes, June 14th). 



At Westcliff, Essex, Mr. A. Luvoni recorded P. nymphula and 

 Libellula depressa on May 25th, I. elegans on May 31st, and A. 

 puella on June 1st. 



During June we re-visited our old Huntingdonshire localities, 

 and, among other species, again met with Libellula fiilva (near 

 Huntingdon, June 16th and 18th), L. qiiadrimacidata and Brachy- 

 tron hafniense (near Kamsey, June 17th), Calopteryx splendens 

 (near Huntingdon, June 12th), and Erythromma naias (near 

 Huntingdon, June 21st). 



Finally, Dr. F. F. Laidlaw has favoured us with a list of the 

 species observed by him in Devonshire during 1913. His report, 

 which is in the following terms, relates to Uffculme, except in 

 the case of those records for which other localities are specially 

 mentioned : — ■ 



" The earliest Odonate met with was Pyrrhosoma nymphula. 

 I saw a female specimen on May 11th, and the species was 

 flying in some numbers the next day. Calopteryx virgo put in 

 an appearance nearly a month later than it did last year. I 

 observed the first specimen, a teneral male, on May 23rd, but 

 the species was very abundant by May 28th. On the last-named 

 date I saw very many specimens, and the insect seemed to me 

 to be much more numerous than it was last year. Exactly the 

 opposite was the case with C. splendens, which was first noticed 

 on June 15th, but which was never so abundant as in 1912 or so 

 numerous as its congener. Libelhda depressa occurred on May 

 26th at Sheldon. Brachytron hafniense was taken at Burlescombe 

 by Mr. H. Pearse on May 27th. I received a female of B. hafniense 

 from near Langport, in Somerset, and a female of Agrion pul- 

 chellum, also from Langport, through the kindness of Miss 

 D. Wright (June 4th). Other records are Agrion puella (Willand, 

 June 16th), Enallagma cyathigerum (Willand, June 20th), Cordide- 

 gaster annulatus (September 7th and 19th) and Sympetrum 

 striolatum, males, (Burlescombe, September 21st and 28th). On 

 June 27th I saw an ^Eschnid chased in a playful way by a 

 sparrow, which, however, it easily evaded."
