of the Orthopterous fauna of the region studied. It is essential, 

 however, for a proper understanding of the subject, to have similar 

 data on the fauna of the Gulf Coast and Texas, in order to make 

 definite or conclusive generalizations. The material from which 

 such data can be obtained is now available, but it will be some years 

 before our studies will permit us to make the desired tabulations. 

 In consequence any expressions on the question of origin would be 

 premature and certainly require amplification, if not revision, 

 within a relatively short time, as the Gulf Coast can be expected to 

 supply much of the really vital information on origin and dispersal. 

 We propose, therefore, to discuss at a later date, as a whole, the 

 information on this subject for the Southern States.

AVe have before us a male specimen taken by the senior author 

 at Philadelphia, on August 9, 1902, in the back yard of the Academy; 

 there is also a female from Washington, District of Columbia, in the 

 National Museum without further data. The species is doubtless 

 widely distributed by commerce; it has in recent years been found 

 to have an extensive distribution throughout the Lower Austral and 

 Subtropical Zones of the southeastern United States. 



At two localities the species was found under signs, on oak 

 (Albany) and sweet gum (Augusta). The majority of the above 

 series was found under debris on the ground.
