In July afld August, 1923, Prof. T. D. A. CockereU and his wife 

 collected insects at and about Vladivostok in Siberia and at various 

 localities for a distance of some four hundred miles northeast of that 

 place. An interesting account of this excursion appears on pages 

 415-433 of the Scientific Monthly (vol. 29, 1924). The following 

 report is on the Orthopteroid insects taken on the above trip, all of 

 which are deposited in the United States National Museum.
