This widespread species I bred in June 1896 at Galesburg III. 
and in June 1898 at Ithaca N. Y. It was not observed at Sara- 
mac Inn. I have always found the species about the borders of 
ponds of permanent nature.

This exceedingly attenuated species is quite similar in appear- 
ance and habits to the preceding, and its nymph, which I have 
_ Several times bred, appears to me quite indistinguishable from 
that species. I did not find it at Saranac Inn.
