ABT. 21 OETHOPTEEA OF THE PINCHOT EXPEDITION OATJDELL 6 



characters given in tabular form by Scudder,^^ which Hebard ^* says 

 will easily distinguish these forms, I fail to appreciate differentiating 

 characters of real value. 



Schistocerca melanocera Stal : One adult female and a female 

 nymph from Charles Island, June 27; 1 male and 2 females from 

 Tower Island, June 16; and 3 males and 3 females labeled only 

 Galapagos, June 19. 



The specimens from Tower Island constitute a new island record. 

 They, as well as the female from Charles Island, agree exactly with 

 the colored figures of Hebard's paper of 1920, but those bearing the 

 label " Galapagos " are decidedly lighter yellowish. These specimens 

 were, however, evidently discolored from having been collected in 

 spirits. 



This is evidently' the large grasshopper noted b}^ Mr. Pinchot 

 in his book on the expedition as being eaten with avidity by a large 

 lizard. 



Schistocerca intermedia Snodgrass: One adult male and an im- 

 mature female on Duncan Island, June 26. The adult agrees exactly 

 with the colored figure given by Hebard, sexual differences being 

 allowed for.
