Amans, P. Recherches anatomiques et physiologiques sur la larve de 
VJEschna grandis. Rev. Montp. (3) i. pp. 63-74, pi. ii. 
Treats briefly on the buccal system, alimentary canal, and respiratory 
apparatus ; with new ideas on the mechanism of the ‘ mask.’ 
^schna crenata^ Hagen. E. Bergroth, Ent. Nachr. vii. p. 86, gives 
critical notes on this species, with which he considers maxima^ Heikel, 
to be probably identical. 
A larva of jEschna, when disturbed, sent out a fine stream of water 
from the caudal end of its body to the distance of two or three feet, and 
continued doing so indefinitely ; Sarah P. Monks, Am. Nat. xv. p. 141. 
Louis Cabot (cf. Odonata) gives detailed descriptions, with figures, of 
the earlier states of 24 species, preceded by a preface, bibliography, and 
general description for the subfamily. The species are : — Gynacantha (?),

p. 14 (a little doubtful), A. junius^ p. 15, pi. i. fig. 2, A. Julius, p. 16, A. 
guttatus, ibid., A. amazili, p. 17, A. sp. ?, from India, ibid. ; ASschna 
rufescens, p. 18, pi. v. fig. 4, uE. grandis^ p. 19, pi. ii. fig. IJ E. cyanea^ 
p. 20, pi. iv. fig. 3, AE. juncea, p. 21, pi. iv. fig. 1, viridis, ibid., pi. v.
