MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 



Additions to the Orthoptera Known to Occur in North Carolina. — 



Mr. H. G. Barber and the writer found it cold when we went insect 

 collecting on April 4, 1914, in the vicinity of Wilmington, N. C. The 

 branches of many of the evergreen trees had been broken down 

 some weeks previous to our visit bv a heaw fall of snow and the 

 event was considered a memorable one. The same story of a back- 

 ward season was told at Southport and at Southern Pines. We, how- 

 ever secured a few insects, and the collection of Orthoptera numbered 

 thirteen species, three of which appear to be additions to the list of 

 those recorded from the State. 

 Anisolabis annulipes Lucas. 



Wilmington, April 4. Under board; three individuals. 



Spongiphora brunneipennis Scrv. 

 Wilmington, April 5, i female.
