MORSE: ORTHOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 211 
recorded, with brief annotations, 98 species, to which were later 
added 6 (p. 119), making 104. From these must be deducted 7 
wrongly recorded or synonymous, leaving 97. 
In 1911, appeared "The Euplexoptera and Orthoptera of 
Connecticut" prepared by B. H. Walden of the Connecticut 
Experiment Station (Conn. Geol. and Nat. Hist. Surv., bull. 
16, p. 39-169, pi. 6-11). This excellent work of 130 pages con- 
tains keys to species, diagnostic drawings, 55 half-tones from 
photographs, a very brief introduction, good descriptions, notes 
and data on 106 species, but of course does not include a num- 
ber of the boreal kinds which live farther north. Of the 106 
listed, 11 are as yet undetected or synonymous, leaving a total 
of 95. 
The present work includes 132 species, of which 16 are regarded 
as adventive and believed not to have become established, or if 
so, but for a brief period. One other species has not been cap- 
tured in New England for a half century. It is probable that 
additional forms remain to be added from southern Connecticut, 
our western border, and possibly from northern Maine (see Table 
of Native and Exotic Orthopteroidea recorded from New England, 
p. 263). 
Collections of New England Orthoptera. 
Historically, the Harris Collection of Massachusetts Orthop- 
tera is the oldest one of New England material. Unfortunately, 
this has all been destroyed but a few fragments. The collection 
of S. H. Scudder, now in the Museum of Comparative Zoology 
at Cambridge, Mass., is the most important in the number of 
types which it contains, 26 of our species having been described 
by him. Professor S. I. Smith's collections from Maine are in 
the same museum, together with much material gathered by 
Professor A. S. Packard, Samuel Henshaw, and F. H. Sprague. 
The several State experiment stations have collections, the larger 
being those at Amherst, Mass., and New Haven, Ct. The 
Boston Society of Natural History possesses a small but good 
series of specimens secured in large part by the Curator, C. W. 
Johnson, during his trips to many parts of the New England
