In addition to the type we have examined a single paratypic 

 adult and two paratypic immature females. The adult differs from 

 the type only in a slightly greater intensity of coloration. 



We take great pleasure in dedicating this interesting species to Dr. 

 Joseph Grinnell, to whose kindly interest we are indebted for this 

 and a number of other Californian Orthoptera. 



Cordillacris apache Rehn and Hebard. 



This species, previously known only from four localities in south- 

 western New Mexico, is represented by two males and one female 

 from Cima, taken August 12. These specimens were taken in tumble- 

 weed along the railroad track, individuals being very scarce. 



One of the males is slightly more ochraceous than the others, while 

 the female is rather grayish. The specimens are rather smaller than 

 the average when compared with the original series from New Mexico. 



Orphulella compta Scudder. 



This species is represented in the collections before us by eight 

 males and eight females taken at Las Vegas, Nevada, August 10, and 

 fifteen males and five females from Indio, taken July 29. 



All the Indio specimens are in the green phase, although somewhat 

 modified in several, while five-eighths of the Las Vegas series is in 

 the same phase, the remaining specimens being either umber brown 

 and buff in general tones or pinkish ochraceous marked with blackish 

 brown on the sides of the head and pronotum. 



At Las Vegas the species was found well distributed in grass beside 

 a stream. 



The species is now known from Yuma, Bill Williams Fork and San
