The local interest attaching to this paper made its publication in Maine desirable. The proof has been read by L. H.

Specimens sent to Thomas W. Harris and credited to Randall in his MS catalogue. He collected coleoptera mostly, but also insects of other orders, including a few Odonates. He published a paper “Description of New Coleoptera from Maine.” (Bost. Jour. Nat. Hist. Vol. 2.)Packard, Prof. Alpheus Spring. Began gathering insects in Maine when only 16 years old; collected during his college course 1858-61, and until 1864 at Brunswick mostly. Also at Orono and in Northern Maine while on the Geological Survey, August and September 1861. Collected in all orders. Uhler named his Odonates. Specimens went first to the Peabody Academy of Science and afterwards to the Cambridge Museum. Author of many articles bearing upon the Insects of Maine.Morse, Prof. Edward Sylvester. Collected in the vicinity of Portland, Maine from 1856-62 in all orders. Specimens went to Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. -Smith, Prof. S. I. Made large collections in all orders at Norway, Maine. His specimens are now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. Prof. Smith is the author of a paper, “Orthoptera of Maine.” published in the Proc. Portland Soc’y Nat. Hist. Vol. I.Agassis, Prof. Louis. Is credited with an Odonate collected at Bethel, Maine.Perrill, Prof. A. E. May have collected insects in Maine at Norway between 1858-61; if so, they probably went to the Cam­bridge Museum.Jones, Thomas K., Portland. An amateur collector particu­larly of beetles. He donated a fine collection of Maine beetles to the Portland Society of Natural History. The present secre­tary writes, "They have gone the way of all insect collections not having daily care.” Odonates were collected somewhat and the specimens, we think, went to the Cambridge Museum, as Mr. Jones is mentioned by Dr. Hagen. Mr. Jones is a sign 14painter by trade and has collected insects many years. Has been an active member of the Portland Society of Natural History and once its secretary.Morrison, H. K. Is credited with collecting Ophiogomphus rapinsulensis in Maine. (See Selys Quatriemes Additions au Synopsis des Gomphines, Brussels, 1878: 50.)Fernald, Prof. C. H. Orono and vicinity, while connected with the Maine State College from 1871-86. Specimens in col­lection of University of Maine, as reported by the present writer in Entomological News, are without collector’s name, but we presume were collected by Prof. P'ernald or his pupils.Wadsworth, Mattie E. Manchester, Kennebec Co. from 1890 to date. Results published in Entomological News. (See Bib­liography).Harvey, Prof. F, L. Orono, Me. and various localities in the Penobscot valley 1886-1899. Results published in Entomo­logical News, (see Bibliography.)Moore, Dr. J. Percy. Instructor of Zoology, LTniversity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Collected at York Harbor, Maine, in summer of 1890. Specimens given to Mr. P. P. Calvert and reported by him in Ent. News. 5: 242. 1894. (See Biblio­graphy).Bullock, David Jayne. Lives (1001) in Philadelphia, Pa. Collected in vicinity of Bar Harbor, in 1890. Specimens reported by collector.Specimens collected in 1891 were reported by Mr. P. P. Cal­vert in Ent. News, 5: 242, 1894. (See Bibliography.)Collections made by the following persons have been examined by the writer and reported by him: Air. and Mrs. Anson Allen, Orono; Miss Kate Furbish, Rangeley region; Mr. E. D. Mer­rill, Auburn, Monmouth and Orono; P. L. Ricker, Westbrook; LeRoy H. Harvey, Bartie F. Harvey, Miss Florence Harvey, and Willis L. Harvey, Orono, Bradley, Greenfield, and other localities in the Penobscot valley.15We know of Maine Odonates in the collections of other Ento­mologists of the state, but have not examined them critically. Miss Mattie Wadsworth, David Jayne Bullock and the writer are the only collectors of Odonates of Maine who have published their results.16
