I)., who informs me that this species has not before this been found in Maine ; although he has taken it on P>lock Island, off the Rhode Island coast. On the day I found this species I saw many other orange 9 9 on the lily pads and nearly all out of reach. The one was with an orange 9 when taken. The place, Round Pond, was an ideal one for dragonflies. On June 20, 1901, I saw a Coriln/c^-a^fcr uiacitlcitus oviposit-ing by forcibly striking the water with the tip of her abdomen. I did not find one of the eggs, and the 9 escaped after being in the net. * ' A List of Insects Taken in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. I. BY AlJ'.X. MACGlLLIVRAY AND C. O. HOUGIITON. As is well known to most of the systematic entomologists of the country but little collecting has been done in the Adirondack Mountains, although the White Mountains of New Hampshire, an adjoining State, have received a good deal of attention from various well-known collectors. As long ago as 1 878 Dr. Lintner : remarked upon this fact, and after referring to some of the work done in the White Mountains says : " Meanwhile, the extensive Adirondack region with its numerous lofty mountain peaks, its deep gorges, its hundreds of lakes perhaps second only to the White Mountains in point of interest to the entomologist of any locality in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains has been permitted each year to bury within itself its entire ento-mological wealth. Previous to the collection noticed in this paper, scarce an insect had been drawn from it. At the present, nothing ha^ been reported of its mountain insect fauna. Many new spe< > doubtless to be discovered there, and the first comparison of its fauna with that of other elevated and more northern regions is yet to be made.
