though there less numerous and more solitary." Thus while ochro- 

 pTiaea can not be said to be strictly terrestrial, it seems more so than 

 the other forms. 



Cope says that the eggs are 6 to 10 in each oviduct. A large female 

 from Potter County, Pennsylvania, had 10 on one side and 14 on the 

 other. No larvae have been seen. Judging by the more terrestrial 

 habitat, and the lack of the light dorsal spots, which are a larval 

 character, the hfe history should diflFor from that of fusca. The 

 males lose the vomerine teeth at a length of 65 to 75 mm. Females 

 the same size have developed eggs. 



Remarks. — This seems to be a northern offshoot of the next form. 

 It is the only form in the genus which lacks the tubercle can thus oculi. 

 Records and specimens from Ohio seem open to doubt. There are 

 four very old specimens in the United States National Museum, num- 

 bered 3896, from Columbus, Ohio. Morse (1904) records it from Sugar 

 Grove, Ohio. U. S. National Museum specimen 15634 from "S. Ari- 

 zona and Texas," is even more open to doubt.
