13. Hippiscm tuber culat us Pal. de Beauv. 



Nipigon (Scudder) ; Sault Ste. Marie (Walker) ; shore of Diamond 

 Lake, Temagami, Sept. 7, 1908, a few nymphs (stad. 3) taken on a dry 

 bushy hillside. This spot was on a rough clearing on which a few trappers' 

 huts stood. Although these were surrounded by a rank growth of grass, 

 weeds and bushes, behind which lay a few acres of recently-tilled land, 

 Orthoptera were by no means abundant, only a few common species, such 

 as Mel. atlanis, femur rubrum, bivittatits and Canuiula pellucida, having 

 been observed. 



14. Dissosteira Carolina Linn. 



This species was common on the clearings and roadsides on Bear 

 Island, and was occasionally met with in dry open places on the portages. 

 It was not observed either at Fort William or Nipigon, although it probably 

 occurs at the former locality in limited numbers. I have also recorded it 

 from Kenora (Rat Portage). 



15. Circotettix verruculatus Kirby. 



Generally distributed and abundant on all exposed rocky or other, 

 wise barren surfaces of any considerable area, especially in burnt-over 

 districts. It was very common at the foot of Mt. McKay. In the un- 

 burnl or uncleared parts of Temagami it was only occasionally met with, 

 and generally in very small numbers. 



The prevailing coloration in these districts is dark grayish brown, 

 somewhat obscurely mottled. Strongly-marked examples are seldom met 

 with, although this type of coloration seems to be the prevailing one in 

 Quebec and the New England States.

A LAST WORD TO MR. DISTANT. 



BY G. W. KIRKALDYj HONOLULU, HAWAII. 



In the course of describing a new genus of Gerrididae (1908, Can- 

 Ent., XL, 453), it was necessary to compare it with the apparently 

 closely-allied Chimarrhometra, Bianchi, the type of which is a species of 



June, 1909
