These measurements, which represent the maximum and mini- 

 mum where series are available, show there is an average increase 

 in size southward from New Jersey to northern and central Florida, 

 the New Jersey individuals being far and away the minimum in 

 the average of the measurements, while the optimum develop- 

 ment of the species is apparently reached in the Georgian and 

 north and central Floridian coast regions. There is, however, 

 at each locality represented by a series, sufficient variation in 

 the material to show that measurements of single individuals 

 are of little value, except where they show the actual maximum 

 or minimum of the species at that locality. 



Color Notes. — The species exhibits two color phases, green and 

 brown, between which stand certain individuals annectant in 

 their tonal coloration. The green tone ranges from as pale as 

 olive-yellow and as brilliant as clear dull green-yellow to as dull 

 as citron green, while in the brown phase we find the tonal value 

 connected with the greens and ranging as dark as tawny-olive. 

 The dark markings are always more decided in the male and range 

 from dresden brown to mummy brown. The medio-longitudinal 

 stripe of the head and pronotum is always more apparent in the 

 male, rarely as sharply indicated, and never as solid and dark, 

 in the female as in the male, being entirely absent in several of 

 the former sex. It is occasionally limited to the head and also 

 divided longitudinally by a thread of the pale base color. The 

 dark lateral bars are occasionally very weak in strongly green 

 phase females, and never are as strongly marked in the female 

 as in the male. Rarely the pale subcostal tegminal streak is 

 obsolete. Eehn and Hebard^^ already have given notes on the 

 south Florida material here examined.
