A most interesting orthopterological contribution, written by J. Ports- 

 chinsky in Russian, and translated by J. Kotinsky into English, appears 

 in the Entomologists' Record for 1901, xiii, pp. 210-213, 2 4- 2 43. 259-261. 

 One new species, Eronobia grandis, is described, and a little known 

 species, Nocarodes cyanipes, treated of in some detail. But the most 

 interesting feature of the paper is the able discussion of the origin of 

 sound-producing organs in the ACRIDID^, and of the adaptation of color 

 in protective resemblance and sexual selection. This portion of the arti- 

 cle should prove interesting reading for any one, scientific or not. A 

 short description of the fields about Erivan and Echmiadzin, in Transcau- 

 casia, the home of Ercmobia grandis, is given and the botanical features 

 noted. A. N. CAUDELL, Washington, D. C.
