The large crickets are common, especially in muddy places near 

 the shore. Specimens with long wings and others with short wings 

 occur together, as in the United States, the short-winged ones being 

 more numerous. These are G. abbreviates, but the two kinds are 

 considered only dimorphic forms of one species. It vai'ies widely in

color, from brown and mottled to black, and occurs from Massachu- 

 setts to Florida. It is very nearly allied to G. Pennsylvanicus 

 Burm. = G. neglectes Scud., which often occurs witli it in the United 

 States, and may, perhaps, also occur in Bermuda, for some of the 

 specimens agree pretty closeh r with the latter. 



The form G. luctuosus, with long wings, was recorded by Uhler. 



Dr. Fr. Dahl recorded the genera Cylindrogryllus Sauss. and 

 Orphula Stal, 1*7 •'! = Stenobothrus.
