female, August 11 and 20; Pablo Beach, three males, two females, one 

 nymph, August 11 and 12, and Gainesville, one male and three females, 

 August 16 and 17. At Jacksonville it was taken on a city lot and in a 

 sandy field near the city; at Pablo Beach on the strand and in open 

 palmetto scrub, and at Gainesville in palmetto scrub in pine woods and 

 in grassland. 



Trimerotropis oitrina Scudder. 



This widely ranging species is represented by material from Jackson- 

 ville and Pablo Beach. A single male from the former locality was 

 taken August 11 on a city lot, and six males and four females from 

 Pablo Beach were taken August 11,12 and 13 on the strand, in palmetto 

 scrub and along the railroad track. The strand was, however, the 

 place of greatest abundance. A male taken at Swansea, Lexington 

 County, S. C, August 10, in a sandy road is also referable to this species. 



LOCUSTIN.t. 

 Diotyophorus guttatus (Stoll). 



This curious grasshopper was numerous in tall weeds along the 

 railroad track a short distance west of Pablo Beach, five males and two 

 females being taken on August 13. The species was more abundant 

 than the collected material would indicate as the remains of dozens 

 of specimens were found along the track, the majority having been 

 crushed by the wheels of the trains. The section where they were 

 most mimerous was bordered on the sides by woodland, and in the 

 more open regions the species was not noticed. A female was captured 

 on the hotel porch at Pablo Beach, August 12, and a single female was 

 taken at Gainesville, August 16, in imdergrowth in pine woods. 

 Nymphs of this species were not noticed during the trip. 

 Stenacris chlorizans Walker. 



At Pablo Beach, in open marshy spots scattered over the palmetto 

 scrub, this species was numerous in grass of moderate height, and in a 

 swampy area of tall grass north of the railroad track it was equally at 

 home. In all situations its actions were similar to those noticed in the 

 vicinity of Thomasville,^ except that grass was used as a resting place 

 instead of cat-tails, which did not occur except in the more pronounced 

 portions of the wet areas. Nine males and five females were taken at 

 this locality, August 11. Three males and two females were taken at 

 Gainesville, August 17, in a marshy sink-hole in the pine woods. 



Over half the specimens collected have the lateral pale bars either 

 distinctly or slightly marked, while the dorsal aspect is strongly pur-
