Unopened pages. Page edges uncut. Inked stamp imprint front cover. "From 1889 to November, 1894, expeditions of the California Academy of Sciences made collections of Odonata..totalling more than 3100 specimens. These were listed and described by me in two papers published in the Proceedings.." "..the disastrous fire of 1906 destroyed, as I understand, all the Odonate material which I had returned to the Academy". "In view of the probability that students of the Odonata may have assumed that all of these collections were destroyed, I have prepared the present paper to indicate for each species listed in the two papers of 1895 and 1899 (a) the total number of specimens originally listed, (b) the specimens now in the California Academy's possession, and (c) the duplicate specimens allotted to me..".
