is by William Beebe in 1924 in his book " Galapagos, World's End," 

 where Anaulacomera darwinii^ Galapagia solitaria, Schistocerca 

 -melanocera^ and Halmenus robtistus are noted. These references 

 include two new island records, Galapagia solitaria from Seymour 

 Island and Halmenus robitstus from Tower Island. The following 

 species were also taken by Beebe but were not mentioned in his 

 printed book: Conocephalus exitiosits, an immature female, Conway 

 Bay, Indefatigable Island, May 1, 1923 ; Gryllus assimilis, one half- 

 grown male nymph on Tower Island, April 28, 1923 ; Cryptoptitum 

 lepismoide, an adult male on Tower Island, April 28, 1923. This 

 last constitutes a new island record. 



The Orthoptera of the Galapagos brought back by the Pinchot 

 expedition are as follows: 



Family TETTIGONIIDAE 



Subfamily Pseudophyllinae 



Liparoscelis coohsoni Butler : One female. Tower Island, June 16. 

 This short-winged katydid has hitherto been recorded from 6 of the 

 16 main islands of the Galapagos group, but the present record is 

 the only one from Tower Island. 



Family ACRIDIDAE 



Subfamily Oedipodinae 



Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus Stal: Three males and one female, 

 Hood Island, July 1. This small grasshopper is recorded from 11 of 

 the 16 islands. 



Subfamily Cyrtacanthacrinae 



Ealvienus rohustus Scudder: Two males and two females from 

 Tower Island, June 16. First record from Tower Island. From a 

 careful study of descriptions and comparison with a paratype, this 

 seems to be typical rohustus. 



Schistocerca literosa var. hyalina Scudder: Six males, three fe- 

 males, taken on Tower Island on June 16. 



Schistocerca literosa var. punctata Scudder: Two females, Hood 

 Island, July 1. 



The above determination of varieties is made mostly from the 

 respective localities of capture. From comparisons made with the
