THE ORTHOPTEEA OF THE CANARY ISLANDS. 193 



nearly reached Kamaraerdo, we obtained a single ^ of C. rutilns, the 

 only one of the species that we saw ; this specimen is fresh but of very 

 small size (34mm.). A little further on we found numbers of 

 C. thersamon. This species was localised but plentiful where it occurred, 

 and for the most part in good condition. 



This completes the record of our entomological experiences in 

 Hungary. The season was undoubtedly not as good at Herculesbad as 

 it had iDeen in previous years, but we are on the whole very well 

 satisfied ; we were fortunate enough to meet with practically every 

 species that we had any right to expect, and, in addition, we made the 

 unexpected capture of A. anteros. 



While at Buda-Pest we visited the National Museum and Dr. 

 Schmidt was kind enough to shew us the collection of Hungarian 

 Lepidoptera. Dr. Schmidt had himself just returned from a collecting 

 expedition to the Hungarian fen-lands and appeared to be very much 

 pleased with his captures, which included several typical English 

 fen-land species, such as ]\lacro;/aster arundlnis (castancae) and 

 Phhjctaenia cilialis. He informed us that this year (1910), even the 

 Museum officials had not yet been able to obtain from the Crown 

 authorities in Vienna permission to collect at Peszer, the ostensible 

 reason being the preservation of somewhat hypothetical game. Dr. 

 Schmidt's courtesy was characteristic of the general attitude of 

 Hungarians towards the English visitor.

The Orthoptera of the Canary Islands.

 {Concluded from p. 178.) 



The relations between the Canary fauna, as shown by its Orthop- 

 tera, and that of the Mediterranean province are very marked, but 

 there is a strong individualist element, with an Ethiopian bias. 



The earwigs are characteristic. We need not discuss the cosmo- 

 politan Labidura riparia, Pall., Anisolahis annulipes, Luc, and 

 A. maritima, Bor. Labia vdnor, L., and Eorjicula auricular ia are 

 essentially Palaearctic species, but are becoming naturalised in North
