A series of nine specimens of this species, inckiding the types, has 

 been studied. 



As all the specimens of this species were collected in my absence 

 from home, I can only state that they were taken in a heavy swamp.

Family GRYLLID^ 

 Gryllotalpa borealis Burmeister. 



Several specimens of this species from Thomasville have been exam- 

 ined, taken March 25, August 31 and September 11, 1903. An indi- 

 vidual was taken just over the line in Leon county, Florida, on March 

 17, 1903, in a very peculiar situation — a distance up a cherry tree. 

 Tridactylus terminalis Scudder. 



Two individuals of this species were taken at Linton's Pond, near 

 Thomasville, one on March 18, and the other April 10, 1904. The 

 exact locality was a sloping sandy beach constantly dampened by 

 the flow of several springs, situated in an overhanging bank and close 

 to a stream. 



Diligent search revealed two other specimens of this species, but 

 owing to the absence of a net at the time they readily escaped. (M. H.) 



EUipes minuta (Scudder). 



This species was found in several places in the vicinity of Thomasville 

 and in Leon county. The locations are moist meadow land or sandy 

 beaches, and here this active little species was very numerous. At 

 Linton's Pond it was taken on April 10, and in northern Leon county 

 on ]\Iarch 22. Nine specimens have been examined. 

 Cycloptilum squamosum Scudder ? 



A single male specimen is questionably referred to this species. It 

 was taken at Thomasville, August 13, 1903. The condition of the 

 specimen is such that accurate identification is impossible, but the 

 description of squamosum contains nothing radically different from 

 the specimen examined. 

 Nemobius maculatus Blatchley. 



This species is represented by a scries of fifteen individuals of both 

 sexes, taken at Thomasville. The months represented are June, July,
