This form was not very common at Saranac Inn, butnymphs, plate 3, figure 9, were taken in the borders of Little Clear Pond and Creek,and exuviae were found along the eastern shore of Lake Clear, hung up in the bushesor attached to large logs several yards from the waters edge. Epicordulia princeps Hagen. This species was seen but a few times at SaranacInn, and no specimens were taken either as nymphs or imagos.
