ORTIIOPTEEA OF INDIANA. 403 



The species may be represented in winter by the eggs as well as by 

 the young, as is the case among some other members of the genus. 



In Saltj^etre Cave, where in July stijijlus was very plentiful, all 

 were found within 100 feet of the entrance. They were never seen 

 on the floor, unless they leaped there when disturbed, but were found 

 resting on the sides of snuill projections and in small cavities of the 

 walls or roof, with their antemite spread out before them. If a 

 lighted candle was held close to them they paid no attention to it, 

 but were very sensitive to its heat and to touch. When disturbed 

 they leap with agility, sometimes to a distance of six feet, but with a 

 little care can usually be readily picked up with the hngers before 

 they become frightened. 



The immature specimens from caves in Monroe and Owen counties 

 were darker than typical siygius, and were found on the floors of the 

 caves — in one or two instances beneath loose rocks. From their 

 habits I am somewhat inclined to doubt their being stygius, since it 

 is quite difficult to name correctly the young of any species of Ceu- 

 ihophilus.

lowish brown, tlie hind femora with the apex a little dusky above and 

 with numerous ol)lique transverse dusky bars on the outer face. In 

 a few specimens the general color is much darker and the outer face 

 of the hind femora is a fuscous brown almost black in hue.
