Records of Orthoptera from the Vicinity of Browns- 

 ville, Texas. 

 BY JAMES A. G. REHN. 



Although the Orthoptera of the Brownsville region have been 

 well examined and reported on at length by Caudell,* the fol- 

 lowing records may add desirable information regarding the 

 occurrence of certain species not included in that paper, and, 

 taken with the work mentioned above, give a comprehensive 

 summary of the Orthoptera of that region. Three species are 

 here added to the fauna of the United States and nineteen are 

 additional to Caudell's paper, in which forty-six were recorded. 



The material collected by Mr. Schaeffer is in the collection 

 of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences and that obtained 

 by Prof. Snow in the cabinet of the University of Kansas. 

 The author wishes to thank both of these gentlemen for the 

 privilege of examining the material from these institutions.
