During the season of 1909 the following series of Orthoptera 

 was taken by Mr. Norman Criddle, and is now in the collection 

 of the junior author, with the exception of sets from the larger 

 series, which are in the collection of The Academy of Natural 

 Sciences of Philadelphia. A collection was also made by 

 Mr. Criddle for Dr. E. M. Walker, and the records have been 

 published in the Canadian Entomologist, Volume XLII, Nos. 

 8, 9, 10 and n.
