the apex after sending two short branches to the margin before it ; the 
diséal sends two ‘approximate veins to the dorsal margin behind the apex; 
the median attains the dorsal margin, to which it also emits a single 
branch before the end of the cell; the submedian is furcate near the base. 
(All the veins are united near the end of the cell). 
Posterior wing trapezoidal, a little wider than the anterior, emarginate 
beneath the apex, and with the costal margin excised from the middle to 
the tip; the costal vein attains the margin about the middle ; the discal 
cell is unclosed; the subcostal vein is nearly straight, and attains the 
margin just before the apex; the median is deeply concave in the mid- 
dle, sweeping up to the dorsal margin behind the apex, sending one 
branch from about its middle, and two other shorter ones from near its 
end.

AN interesting paper by Mr. William Couper, of Montreal, with an
