Clare Island Survey — Neuroptera. 



27 3 



The only neuropterous insects which are qualified for this task are the larger- 

 bodied dragonfiies of the genera Sympetruni, Libellula, and Aeschna — insects 

 which would have little difficulty in crossing such a sea-harrier. 



I am indebted to the Eev. W. F. Johnson and Mr. Claude Morley for notes 

 of their captures, and to Mr. K. J. Morton and Eev. A. E. Eaton for kind help 

 in the identification of some difficult species collected during the Survey. 



In the list of species the locality names are indicated by the following 

 letters : — 



A = Achill Island. L = Louisburgh. 



B = Inishbofin. M = Mulranny. 



Be = Belclare. N = Newport. 



Bm = Belmullet. B=Mweelrea. 



C = Clare Island. W = Westport. 



Cb = Castlebar.
