border of the other spots; of the spots below these, the first is 

 triangular, the second is largest of all and subqiiadrate, the third and 

 fourth are unequal and oppositely rhoraboidal; midway between 

 these and the base of the wing is a small roundish spot. 



Secondaries with two spots between the subcostal and median 

 nervures, dividing equally the distance from the base to the tip of 

 the wing, the inner ovate, and scarcely half as large as the outer 

 roundish one; a third small ovate spot at the first divarication of the 

 median nervure, and, sometimes, a fourth small ovate spot between 

 the terminal divarications of the subcostal; sometimes a submarginal 

 row of spots. 



Beneath dull fulvous, the primaries witli brownish spots, the sec- 

 ondaries with very large silvery white spots, encircled with yellowish 

 brown; the darker parts of the primaries are as follows: the basal 

 half of the wing, beneath the median nervure, fuscous; the basal tv/o- 

 thirds of the costal area obscured with fuscous; a dark spot occupying 

 the iqjper half of the middle of the cell; a large oblong quadrate 

 spot between the subcostal and median nervures, extending from just 

 Avithin the tip of the cell (where it encloses a yellow spot) more than 

 half- Avay to the outer margin ; above its basal third a slight infusca- 

 tion ; a quadrate spot between the first and second median nervules, 

 its outer border reaching the second median nervule; a submar- 

 ginal row of spots just without the row of yellow spots on the 

 upi)er surface, those between the subcostal and median nervures 

 sagittate. The spots on the secondaries are as follows : a very large 

 oblonc-oval one in the middle of the interspace between the subcostal 

 nervure and its first nervule, two spots dividing equally the interspace 

 between the subcostal and meilian nervures, the inner oblong-oval, as 

 large as the first mentioned, the outer the largest on the wing, and 

 subquadi-ate ; the latter forms one of a straight discal row of spots 

 subparallel to the outer border, the others being as follows: a spot 

 similar to the first two mentioned, situated between the median and 

 submedian nervures ; a small roundish or ovate spot between the latter 

 and the largest spot, and beyond the largest; a roundish or subtrian- 

 gular spot, half as large as the first mentioned spot, situated near the 

 outer angle; above this, at right angles to the extremity of the straight 

 row, a small roundish spot; a submarginal row of five small roundish 

 spots, those between the subcostal and median nervures small and 

 marginal, sometimes obsolete. Expanse of wings one inch. Taken 

 at Norway, Me., June 13th, by Mr. Smith. 



Mr. S. II. Scudder stated that lie had recently been studying 

 the mole crickets, with a view to their classification, and found 

 that they were naturally divisible into two groups. For one
