 was off the ground. With the exception of those marked with an *, the 

 species in the above list were kindly named for me by Mr. Scudder. The 

 Gryllides were also submitted to him, with the exception of luctuosus and 

 domesticus, but he wrote me that he was unwilling to say what they were 

 until he could take time to study them.
