170 BRITISH ORTHOPTERA. 



Next follows a male from a field at Herne Bay, probably 

 the locality in which Saunders took it. It is in H. Guermon- 

 prez' collection. This record appears to be undated."* 



On 8 April 1912 JB. S. Harwood sent me a male for purposes 

 of identification, and afterwards gave it to me. It and others 

 were taken on the Essex coast. He apparently saw it first in 

 1903 (the specimen sent was dated 3 Sept. 1903), and took a 

 few only during the years till 1910, when he saw perhaps a 

 dozen nymphs and took several adults. He also took one in 

 1911. On 15 April 1912 he said : "I have three or four more 

 males and two or three females and have sent several away as 

 brachyptera" In 1912 Harwood noticed nymphs on 24 June 

 and captured four adult females on 7 September. One of 

 these females he added to my collection. 



On 13 September 1907 Campion took a female at Herne 

 Bay ; but he could not find the species there in September 

 1908. 



On 1 August 1911 South took a male at Lelc/h in Essex. 



On 3 September 1911 W. West captured five males and 

 two females on the bank of the Thames a few miles below 

 Gravesend. Two pairs were placed in his own collection, the 

 odd specimen he gave to me. 



From 21 July to 22 September 1912 examples were taken 

 at Westcliff and Canvey Island, thus adding two new localities 

 to the list, A. Luvoni being the fortunate discoverer. 



In August 1912 Campion was again able to take a few 

 specimens at Herne Bai/.^f 



On 22 August 1912 West took a female near Gravesend and 

 gave it to me. 



In 1912 Porritt visited Kew's old locality at Trusthorpe to 

 see if M. roeselii was still to be found there. He was in the 

 locality from 27 August till 9 September. His visit com- 

 menced the day after the great floods in Norfolk and Lincoln- 

 shire, due to the long-continued torrential rains. Although 

 during his stay there was comparatively little rain, the ground 

 for some days was in many places a veritable swamp, and the 

 wind day after day blew with such violence from the north 

 and east, and was so bitterly cold, that collecting was as 

 unprofitable as it was uncomfortable. M. roeselii seemed to 

 be exceedingly local, being apparently almost confined to a 

 stretch of the sandhills, about 100 yards long by 10 or 12 yards 

 wide, on the land side. Although he carefully examined many

f About 1887 C. O. Waterhouse took 5 males, 2 females, and a female 

 nymph at Herne Bay, mostly in July. 'Entomologist,' 1912, p. 118.
