1286. | ON DRAGONFLIES FROM N.W. INDIA. 325 
are no intrinsic muscles, and the bronchidesmus is complete as in 
other Storks. 
In no other Stork that I have had the opportunity of examining 
does the syrinx depart from the type of structure characteristic of 
the Ciconice as in the two above-mentioned genera. 
Prof. Garrod basalready mentioned that Abdimia and Xenorhynchus 
also approach the Herons in the absence of the ambiens muscle ; I 
have been able to confirm Garrod’s statement that this muscle is 
absent in Abdimia by the dissection of two specimens. 
2. On a small Collection of Dragonflies from Murree and 
Campbellpore (N.W. India), received from Major J. W. 
Yerbury, R.A. By W. F. Kirsy, Assistant in Zoolo- 
gical Department, British Museum. 
[Received May 17, 1886.] 
(Plate XX XIII.) 
In acollection of insects recently received by the British Museum 
from Major Yerbury, which he had formed at Murree, Campbell- 
pore, and other neighbouring localities in N.W. India, between the 
months of August and November 1885, were a considerable number 
of Dragonflies in good preservation. ‘They were numbered from 1 
to 15; but a few were not ticketed. In some cases more than one 
species bore the same number, while in others the sexes of a species 
bore different numbers. Allowing for this, the actual number of 
species exemplified in the collection proved to be 19, four of which 
appear to be new to science. Among these 19 species, the most 
interesting are, first, the European Sympetrum fonscolombei, De 
Selys, which has not been previously recorded from India, so far as 
I know; and, secondly, a new species of Micromerus resembling the 
common M. lineatus, Burm., but really forming a new section in 
the genus.
