It is to be regretted that the latter was not submitted in manu 

 script for approval to a specialist, as was evidently done in certain 

 other orders. The nomenclature is not recent, and at least two 

 recorded species are omitted. The following notes are submitted 

 as corrections and additions to Prof. Verrill's article : 



Stenobothrus maculipennis Scudder. 



This species belongs to the genus Orphulella, and is a synonym 

 of 0. pelidna Burm. 



Stenobothrus bilineatus Scudder. 



This species is also a member of the genus Orphulella, and is 

 synonymous with O. speciosa Scudd. 



Orphulella olivaceus Morse. 



This species is not mentioned in Prof. Verrill's work, but is 

 recorded as occurring in Bermuda by Prof. Scudder.* 



Schistocerca americana Drury. 



This handsome insect has apparently never been recorded from 

 the islands, and Prof. Verrill seems not to have met with it. The 

 National Museum contains two female specimens bearing the 

 label " Bermuda I," but no collector or date. This appears to 

 be the only representative of the Acridiinae thus far taken on the 

 islands. 



Conocephalus dissimilis Serville. 



This is a synonym of C. triops Linnaeus. 



Conocephalus fuscostriatus Redtenbacher. 



This species has been recorded by Prof. Scudder, f as having 

 been taken on the islands by C. M. Weed. 



Orchelimum vulgare Harris. 



This species appears in Scudder's Catalogue as a synonym of 

 O. agile DeG. 



Gryllus bermudensis, n. sp. 



General color testaceous with lighter markings. Head moderatelj' 

 prominent, as wide as the thorax; eyes piceous, and a similarly colored 

 band across the occiput. From each end of this transverse bar a fuscous 

 stripe extends back to the posterior border of the head. The sides of the 

 head and the greater portion of the face is light yellowish. Thorax one and 

 one-half times as broad as long, light testaceous with quite uniform infusca- 

 tion on each side of the center above and on the posterior portion of the 

 upper half of the lateral lobes, which are strongly inflexed posteriorly. 

 This inflexion of the posterior portion of the lateral lobes and the infusca- 

 tion of the upper part seems quite constant, being present in the immature 

 specimens as well as in the adult. Elytra not quite reaching the tip of
