The specimens taken on the Florida mainland were all captured 

 in the undergrowth of pine woods. Pines do not grow on any of the 

 Keys which were examined, and the specimens of this species were 

 there found in the luxuriant tangles on the edge of the scrub and in 

 a sort of wire-grass.

These specimens are similar in character to New Jersey individuals 

 of the species, exhibiting considerable diversity in size and relative 

 tegminal length, even in specimens from the same locality. Practi- 

 cally all of the color phases found in the species are represented in 

 the south Florida series. 



At Miami and Homestead this species was found in wet depres- 

 sions in the pine woods, while on Long Key and Key Vaca it was taken 

 among the salt-marsh grasses growing scantily on the otherwise 

 bare coquina rock of the low wet portions of these Keys. At Boot 

 Key the specimens were taken among scant tufts of wire-grass 

 growing on the coquina, and were noticed to resemble very closely in 

 color the surface of the rock. The species was found quite plentiful at 

 Key West among the peculiar halophytic plants which grow on the 

 bare coquina. 



Arphia granulata Sauss.

Several males and females from Key West vary from burnt umber 

 to chestnut in general coloration and are very little mottled, the 

 rest of the specimens of the series here recorded have as a basic color 

 clove-brown, usually variously mottled with a lighter color. In 

 these latter specimens the two dark bands on the caudal femora are 

 generally quite pronounced, while in the more reddish individuals 

 these bands are either very faint or wholly lacking. 



This species was found in open spots in the pine woods at Miami 

 and Homestead, at the former place not infrequently. At Key
