GRYLLUS CAMPESTRIS. 139 



Surrey : A colony between Eashing and Grbdalmihg, whence 

 J. Gf. Dalgliesh received specimens. In the Victoria History 

 of Hampshire Burr mentions Farnham (Smith) : apparently 

 Farnham is the Surrey town, which, however, is near the 

 Hampshire border. One, Rotherhithe, 1904 (Moore). Sussex ; 

 In December 1899 I received a male from Rev. E. N. 

 Bloomfieldj which was taken at Pett in that year. It was 

 discovered by its shrill voice, and was found on lifting up a 

 slab of wood in a temporary bathing-shed on the beach. It 

 was said to have been in a hole beneath the slab. It was the 

 only specimen, and Bloomfield had seen no other. C. A. 

 Briggs had a male obtained from Bennett's sale in 1891 ; 

 and K. B. Nevinson has a male bought in an old collection 

 of aculeates formed by Dr. Dowie of Eastbourne. 



SCOTLAND. C. Stewart (1809) gives it as a Scotch insect in 

 the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, while Gr. Don (1813) claims 

 it for the County of Forfar. \V. Evans, however, can find no 

 evidence in support of Stewart's and Don's records, except 

 the statement made by James Wilson in the seventh edition 

 of the ' Encyclopaedia Britannica ' (Entom., p. 158), viz. : " We 

 heard its song near Edinburgh for the first time last summer'
