Cambridge Museum, both from Massachusetts, and a male from the 
White Mountains, N. H., Shurtleff, in the B. S. N. H. collection. 
33. Gomphaeschna furcillata Say. Hae. Syn., 131, 25. 
No. 52. $8, Libellula (Gomphus) furcillata Say ss. (Say’s de- 
term.). Dr. Smith, Sutton. 
Mr. Say described only the male from Massachusetts. He had 
seen only the individual sent for examination by Dr. Harris, and as 
the male in the collection is labelled u, it is doubtless the type. 
There is in Harris’ collection a male labelled 15 June, 1855, a later 
addition. 
The species is very rare. In Europe there is only the male type 
described by Rambur, now in the collection of Baron De Selys Long- 
champs; the female has never been described. There is a female 
from Brookline, Mass., June 8, 1864, in the B. S. N. H. collection. 
In the Cambridge Museum there is a male labelled Sept., Druid 
Hill (locality unknown to me), a female from Massachusetts, and 
another from Detroit, Mich., August. I was told that the spe- 
cies is common near the Detroit River, and had nymphe given to 
me probably belonging to this species. Perhaps it is a northern 
species. 
34. Neuraeschna vinosa Say. Hag. Syn., 130, 24. 
No. 71. 6, de. vinosa Say Mss. (Say’s determ.). Cambridge, 
Aug. 15, 1832. : 
Described by Mr. Say from Massachusetts, from a. Harris speci- 
men. Of course it is to be considered as type. 
Whether the name of Mr. Say was published before that given by 
Prof. Burmeister, Ae. 4-gutiata, is, as 1 have stated, not yet decided. 
This species ranges from Maine to Tennessee, and seems not very 
rare. It is the representative species of NV. Jrene of Europe. 
There is a fragment of Aeschna larva, young and not determinable, 
in the collection.

No. 51. ¢, Gomphus (Ictinus) raptor Harris mss. Imago and 
pupa. Dr. Smith, Sutton. There is also another pupa in the collec- 
tion. 
The specimens are very important, as the curious pupa, formerly 
thought by me to belong to Petalura Thoreyi, is shown to belong to 
this remarkable species, which seems to have a wide habitat, for I
