 Albany on eroded limestones and sand bars along the Flint River, 

 at the former locality associated with Acrydium a. arenosum.

It is interesting to note that at the two localities where large series 

 of the present insect were found by us, the only two large series of 

 Tettigidea prorsa were taken. The present species appears to be entirely 

 confined in distribution to the Sabalian and Tropical zones where it 

 is further restricted to low, blackish, water-soaked ground covered 

 with low bog plants (sun-dews, pitcher plants, etc.), in pine 

 woods (long-leaf pine at all of the localities except Yemassee, where 

 the forest was composed of the short-leaf species which is sometimes 

 found in this region near swamps), so that even in its limited range 

 its distribution is markedly discontinuous. This species has been 

 recorded northward as far as New Berne, North Carolina, and south- 

 ward to Detroit, Florida, while De Funiak Springs, Florida, is the 

 most westerly published record. 



All but two of the series taken at Hornerville were captured in 

 an area a few yards in diameter, where the peculiar vegetation 

 described above flourished, wide search through the swampy under- 

 growth of the pine woods elsewhere revealed only two young.
