Among the extraordinary phenomena observed on the plains of Patagonia are storms of dragonflies. They come before the south-west wind which blows from the interior. Moving ahead of such a gale are the dragonflies, apparently flying in dread. Most of them are blue in colour, with here and there an individual so brightly scarlet as to be conspicuous among the others. They come without warning, the air to a height of ten to twelve feet above the ground being all at once seen to be full of them, rushing past with astonishing velocity in a north-east-erly direction. Men and horses in their path are quickly covered with clinging masses of them. They are rather larger than the dragonflies that are known elsewhere, being 3 or 4 inches in length. In order to give London policemen a weekly day of rest, 1,500 extra recruits will be required at ,a cost of £150,000 a year.
