or under bark. Naturally some little uncertainty is attached to the 

 identification of the specimens, but they can safely be considered 

 johnsoni. Some individuals possess light narrow lateral margins to 

 the pronotum, mesonotum and metanotum. 



All the immature specimens taken were found under signs on oak 

 trees in company with immature individuals of other species of Isch- 

 noptera. When revealed the majority in their hurry fell from the tree 

 and hid in the leaves at its foot, but a few, relying in their protective 

 coloration, would press themselves closely to the bark and remain 

 motionless. (M. H.) 

 Ischnoptera uhleriana Saussure. 



Adult Thomasville specimens of this species taken ]\Iarch 23, April 6, 

 May, July 10 and 25, 1903, have been examined. They fully agree 

 with specimens from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Data with 

 some specimens informs us they were taken from under pine bark. 



This is the most abundant roach found in this region under the bark 

 of dead pine logs. It was hardly ever met with except on pine.

Ischnoptera major (Saussure and Zehntner). 



A large series of immature individuals, some nearly adult, we refer 

 to this species. The larger specimens are undoubtedly major, but the 

 smaller ones may represent other species as well. The localities 

 represented are Thomasville, Tyty Plantation and the Ocklockonee 

 river, and the dates range from February to October. 



Almost all the immature specimens taken of this species were from 

 under the bark of dead pine logs. (M. H.) 



Ceratinoptera lutea Saussure and Zehntner. 



Several immature specimens of this species were taken at Thomas- 

 ville on December 31, 1902. 



This species is occasionally very abundant in dead oak leaves. 

 Many immature specimens were also seen under signs on trees, espe- 

 cially on sweet gum, in company with immature specimens of Isch- 

 noptera. (M. H.) 

 Periplaneta aTuericana (Linnaeus). 



This omnipresent species is represented in the collections by a num- 

 ber o' Thomasville specimens taken in April, June and December. 

 Periplaneta truncata Krauss. 



This species, which was previously known from the United States 

 by one record from Victoria, Texas,^ is represented by two females
