of ten from Miami taken in July, 1903, and February, 1904. January 

 specimens from Miami are also in the Academy collection. 



Schistocerca damnifica (Saussure). 



A male from Miami taken February G, 1904, and a female from 

 Chokoloskee represent this species. 

 Schistocerca alutacea (Harris). 



Three males, two from Key West, January 20, 1904, and one from 

 Chokoloskee, represent this species. The Kej' West individuals are 

 rather uniformly colored, while the Chokoloskee specimen is striped. 



Key West. — These specimens were taken in the open bush near the 

 city. (H.) 



ScMstocerca obscura (Fabricius). 



One male from Miami taken August 12, 1903, is referred to this 

 species. 



Melanoplus puer (Scuddei). 



Twenty-nine specimens represent this peculiar species, several 

 being immature and the adults all larger than Scudder's measurements. 

 One individual is from Tampa, while the remainder are from Miami, 

 taken February 6, 7 and 9, 1904. The species was previously known 

 only from Fort Reed, Orange county, and Jacksonville, Duval county. 



Tampa. — The specimen from Tampa was taken in a grassy spot 

 near the railroad. 



Miami. — ^These specimens were taken in the undergrowth of the 

 pine w^oods both to the north and the west of the town. (H.) 

 Melanoplus keeleri (Thomas). 



A series of twenty-six individuals, evenly divided between the sexes, 

 represent this species. All are from Miami, taken in July and August, 

 1903. 



Some of the male specimens have the cerci typical of keeleri, while 

 others might with justice be referred to deletor, and it appears very 

 possible that the two species are identical. The series examined can- 

 not be separated by the cerci into two forms, one extreme running into 

 the other, while in all other characters no difference exists. The series 

 exhibits a considerable amount of color variation, and in size both 

 sexes are larger than Scudder's measurements. 

 Paroxya floridiana (Thomas). 



A male and a female from Miami, taken July 17, 1903, and January 

 23, 1899, and three females from Chokoloskee represent this species. 

 Paroxya atlantica Scudder. 



A series of fifty-five males and twenty-six females represents this
