vided the latter into Latreille's two sections of Cursoria, — families 

 Blattina, Mantodea and Phasmodea, and Saltatoria, — families Acridi- 

 odea, Locustina and Gryllodea. The same arrangement "was followed 

 by DeHaan in 1842. 



Westwood, in his Introduction to the modem classification of In- 

 sects, published in 183J>-40, separated the Forficularise from the other 

 Orthoptera under the name of Euplexoptera ; and divided the Or- 

 thoptera into Cursoria, — family Blattidte, Raptatoria, — family Man- 

 tidae, Ambulatoria, — family Phasmidaj and Saltatoria, — families Ach- 

 etidaj (Gryllides), Gryllidae (Locustariae) and Locustidse (Acrydii). 



Blanchai'd, in the third volume of his Histoire naturelle des ani- 

 maux articul^s, published in 1840, arranges them simply in seven 

 families, as follows: Forficuliens, Blattiens, Mantiens, Phasmiens, 

 Locustiens, Grylliens and Acridiens. 



Fischer de Waldheim, in his Orthopteres de la Russie, published in 

 1846, separated the Forficuhnes from the other Orthoptera, and 

 divided the latter (omitting the Phasmida, which did not occur in 

 Russia, to his knowledge) into Cursoria, — including Blattina and 

 Mantodea and Saltatoria, — including Gryllodea, Locustina and 

 Acridiodea.

In 1854 he proposed a similar scheme, which I have not seen, but 

 which Gerstascker in his Bericht reports substantially as follows: the
