MORSE: ORTHOPTERA OF NEW ENGLAND. 
329 
informs me that Professor A. S. Packard stated at the time of 
capture that the evidence seemed to indicate that the specimen 
was a native of the State. No additional occurrences having 
been reported since that time either in Rhode Island or in other 
New England localities it seems best to regard the single capture 
as that of an adventive specimen, accidentally or intentionally- 
introduced. The species is rarely met with even in southern 
New Jersey and is normally restricted to a much warmer climate 
than characterizes even the southern part of New England.
