Hagen.] BAT 6 (January 22, 
48. Agrion Ramburii Selys. Hag. Syn., 76, 5. 
No. 17. & 9, New York, Mr. Calverley. 
There are ten specimens of Agrion in the collection, eight num- 
bered 17, and two, 11 and 146, nearly all fragments, some of them 
difficult to determine surely. Apparently they do not agree with the 
determinations given in the catalogue, and are probably later addi- 
tions for the lost original specimens. No. 11 is marked “ Agrion 
(Lestes) hastata Say Mss., stigma in the other sex distant from the 
edge of the anterior wings (Say’s determ.), one specimen, Milton, 
meadows, June 20, 1821.” This agrees very well with the male of 
A.hastatum (anomalum Rbr.), but the only specimen, No. 11, in the 
collection is a male of A. putrida. 
No. 17 in the catalogue is marked Agrion (Lestes) vere Say 
Mss. (Say’s determ.). See No. 41. The other specimens are: — 
Milton, low grounds, June 10, 1825, 6 and var. 2; also both ¢ and 
var. ?, North Carolina; 17 and var., Maine, R., 18836; New York, 
Mr. Calverley; $ ?. Nowthere are just eight specimens numbered 17, 
but the two from North Carolina are Aryia putrida; from New York 
are five stead of two, and none of them agreeing with the speci- 
mens from North Carolina, or with Say’s description; from Massa- 
chusetts there is a pair, but also not agreeing. 
The No. 41 of the catalocue, A. verticalis i var. Mss., 55 (Say’s 
determ.), Milton, meadows, June 20, 1827, is marked lost by Dr. 
Harris. I do not know Say’s Ag. verticalis, but apparently Say con- 
founded the sexes; his male is the female; his female is a male. 
No. 46 bis. “ Agr. hastata ? Say Mss., if the other sex has the stigma 
in the upper wings detached from the margin.” (Say’s determ.) 
This is not in the collection. 
In the catalogue one hundred and four specimens are indicated in 
61 numbers; there are now one hundred and ten specimens remain- 
ing, belonging to 57 numbers (41, 46 bis., 78, 139 lost) and to 48 spe- 
cies. Of the 110 specimens 46 are fragments, and of the others 
some are in bad condition. Mr. Say describes 41 species, and among 
them 20 from Massachusetts, sent tohim from Dr. Harris. Of all of 
them, typical specimens agreeing with Say’s description are in the 
collection, except Lestes rectangularis. Some of the types are appar- 
ently very rare species, and even now unique or nearly so. Besides 
this the types of the two species described by Dr. Harris are in the 
collection.
