 July 11th. .S'. vagans, Fieb., Bosna Bred, July 17th. S. bicolor, 

 Charp., abundant everywhere. H. biguttulus, L., at Comana, July

 Bucarest, July 11th, Comana, July 12th, and Igman, July 21st ; 

 also Bosna Brod, July 17th, and Lukavica, July 28rd. S. pulvinatus, F.

 July 10th. S.parallelus, Zett., Comana, July 12th, Bosna Brod, July 

 17th, Cetinje, July 10th. Gomphocerus sibiricus, L. — The only place 

 where I took this mountain insect was at Tisavica, July 28th. It was 

 fairly numerous at one end of the stony desolate valley, hopping about 

 among the little tufts of grass among the stones. The stridulation is 

 short and low, and rather hard to distinguish, (r. rufns, L. — One 

 male at Igman, July 21st. (t. macidatns, Thunb. — One male on the 

 very top of the peak of Trebovic, July 24th. Staurouotus brevicollifi, 

 Eversm., was numerous in the neighbourhood of Bucarest, July 11th. 

 Sfethopliyma fuscum, Pall. — This splendid grasshopper was very 

 noticeable at Bicevica, August 1st, from its size and colour, and from 

 the clattering made by the elytra and wings during flight. .S'. 

 hrevipenne, Fisch., was also common at Bicevica, August 1st, and I 

 received a male from Travnik, in North Bosnia. Epacromia strepens, 

 Latr., at Comana, July 12th, and Blagaj, August 8rd. /'.'. thalassina, 

 Fabr., was numerous near Comana, July 12th, with the above 

 species, and occurred also at Bosna Brod, July 17th, and Blato, August 

 4th. They were very active insects, and take a short flight when ap- 

 proached, which makes them rather hard to capture.

Of our four species of the next genus, (Iramoptera, two arc 

 common, and two are local and rare, (rramoptera tabaricolor, De G. 

 {lai'vis, F.), our first species, is common in the Loudon district and the 

 south, and not uncommon iu the Midlands, but is rarer further north. 

 Mr. Bouskcll tells me it is common iu Leicest<3rshire. It is a black 

 insect with yellow elytra, the suture and apex of which are narrowly 

 black. At first sight it is not unlike the male of the last insect, but 

 may be at once known by its yellow legs, the legs of Sfrangalia 

 nw'lannra being black. It is to be taken by sweeping or beating. 1 have 

 {•ajjtured it iu the New Forest, in many localities in the London district, 

 and at Chiddiugfold, etc. (iramoptera analis, Pan/.., is a black insect, 

 with the abdomen reddish ; the antenme are entirely black. It is a 

 rai't' insect, and is taken by sweeping flowers and beating oaks and 

 liawlhorn blo.ssoin. I have captured it by l)eating hawthorn blossom, 

 and also by swee])ing in the New Forest. It has also occurred at 

 Dareuth Wood, Westerham and Matlock. Grauioptcra rnjicornis, F., 

 is closely allied to the preceding, but may easily be known by having
