SGHISTOCERCA TARTARIGA TAKEN AT SEA. 



BY L. O. HOWARD 



A specimen of Schistocerca tarltrrlwi (determined by Caudelh 

 \v:is received from Professor Marvin, the Chief of the Weather 

 Bureau, to whom it had been sen) by Captain B. Morthensen 

 of the Norwegian bark Rolxrl Sera/ton. It seems that Captain 

 Morthensen is one of the cooperative marine observers of the 

 Weather Bureau, and he noted in his report that on October 7, 

 10 Hi, a lot of these grasshoppers came aboard in lively condition. 

 At that time the vessel was 1200 nautical miles from the African 

 coast, latitude 20 57' N., longitude 39 28' W. The author 

 has been informed by Mi 1 . Caudell that this locust occurs in 

 soul hern Kurope, Africa, in Ceylon, and also in Central America 

 and northern South America, and that there are records of its 

 prolonged Might over the sea. It is worth while, however, to 

 place this well authenticated case on record.
