70. Melanoplus affinis Scudder. 



B. C. — Nicola Valley, Aug. 20, 1901, i $. (Fletcher.) Also 

 previously recorded from this locality and Vernon by Walker, 

 and from the Province, without further data, by Scudder^ 



71. Melanoplus bilituratiis iy^dW^tx).

B. C — Victoria, Vancouver Id., Sicamous. (Scuddei^) Donald, 

 Vernon, Discovery Id., Duncans, Nanaimo and Riddell, Van- 

 couver Id. and Kelowna. (Walker.) 



The occurrence of this Pacific Coast species in Manitoba 



seems improbable, and I feel some doubt as to the correctness of 



the deterniination.

 couver by Scudder (Rep. U. S. Ent. Com., 11, App., 24, 1880),

Very great variation is seen in this series. The specimens 



from Kamloops, except one female, some of those from Banff, 



and a pair from Olds, are much above the average size, being as 



large or nearly so, as M. spi-etis. Specimens previously recorded 



*Previous references to Olds, Walsh, Leduc and Medicine Hat were placed 

 by error in the Saskatchewan lists.
