each at Gainesville, Monticello, De Funiak Springs, Crestview and 

 Pensacola. While they were mainly interested in Coleoptera and 

 Lepidoptera they nevertheless collected a considerable number of 

 species of Orthoptera, which have, through the courtesy of Dr. Frank 

 E. Lutz, been placed in my hands for identification. To Mr. Mutch- 

 ler,' Mr. Watson and Dr. Lutz, I am under obligations for the oppor- 

 tunity thus afforded of examining an interesting collection. 



The several species of short winged Mclanoplns and the interest- 

 ing Diaphcromcra were submitted to Messrs. Rehn and Hebard of the 

 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, who kindly spent much 

 time in their consideration. 



In addition to the records of the American Museum specimens, 

 I have added two from a small collection received through the kind- 

 ness of Mr. J. R. Watson, entomologist of the Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station at Gainesville, Fla. 



Notwithstanding his illness, my friend, Mr. Louis H. Joutel, has 

 been good enough to make for me excellent sketches of the supra- 

 anal plates and of the cerci of the two new species, so that there 

 ought to be no trouble in identifying them in the future.
