from Thomasville, taken in October, 1903, and on January 9, 1904. 

 These individuals, as is the case with the Texan specimens, are 

 referable to the "var. a," of Saussure and Zehntner. 



The specimen of this species which was taken on January 9, 1904, 

 I found dead on the sidewalk of Jackson street, under a large live oak.

Family MANTID^. 



Stagmomantis Carolina (Johansson). 



This species is represented in the collection by immature individuals 

 taken in July and August, and adults taken in August, September and 

 October. 

 Gonatista grisea (Fabricius). 



A single specimen of this species from Thomasville was examined. 

 It was taken in early winter resting on the dead leaves of a small water 

 oak. 

 Thesprotia graminis (Scudder). 



This species is represented in the Thomasville material by two 

 somewhat immature individuals taken August 19 and September 30, 

 1903. 



This species is found in the wire-grass which carpets the pine forest, 

 and which it so closely resembles that the closest scrutiny is required 

 to reveal its presence. (M. H.) 



Family PHASMID^. 

 Anisomorpha buprestoides (Stoll). 



This species is represented by specimens taken at Thomasville, 

 March 20, 1903, and at Tyty Plantation, Thomas county, December 

 12, 1903. The latter individuals, a pair, were taken on pine in coitu. 



A number of half-grown specimens of this species were taken by 

 beating the gall-berry bushes growing near a "branch" which crosses 

 the river road nearly two miles from town. (M. H.) 



Family ACRIDID^. 

 Acrydium arenosum (Burmeister). 



This species is found common in the vicinity of water, on sandy 

 beaches and wet soil, but probably is local in its distribution even in 

 such environment, as it was taken at but three points. In a piece of 

 bayou country, amid cypress and black gum, on the Ocklockonee 

 river west of Thomasville, this species was taken on February 29, March 

 29 and April 1 and 9, 1904. In the vicinity of a small lake in northern 

 Leon county, specimens were taken on March 21, 1903, and March 22, 

 1904. The series examined consists of sixty specimens, and exhibits
