(Plate xiv.) 
Several months ago the extensive collection of these small 
Orthoptera in the Indian Museum was placed in my hands for 
study by Dr. N. Annandale, Superintendent of the Museum. At 
the time I received the collection Dr. Annandale stated in a letter 
that: =‘ a large proportion of the collection was named by the late 
Mr. Kirby just before his death, and I am sending these specimens 
also.’ A considerable number of the remaining specimens, not 
seen by Mr Kirby, were named by Saussure and others. I find 
after going over the collection that the part examined by Mr. 
Kirby bears evidence that he had not passed final judgment on 
many of the specimens. This is shown from a number of cases 
where a hastily written label, with a specific name, is attached to 
one insect among a series containing from one to several species, 
so that the remaining ones were left undetermined. 
The Indian Museum collection contains such a large percentage 
of the described species of the Indian Empire, besides so many 
new ones, that I concluded to give a review of the recorded 
Indian species of this Orthopteran family. I have given a synopsis 
of the subfamilies, and the genera; and in most cases in the large 
genera I have given tables for the separation of species. ‘The litera- 
ture of all the species has been added_ but in conjunction with this 
part Kirby’s remarkable Catalogue of Orthoptera, Volume III, will 
be found invaluable for reference. The latter, however, includes 
the literature only to the end of 1898. Since then, a number of 
Indian species have been described, which are recorded in the 
present paper. Included at the end are some species in the Indian 
Museum outside the Indian Empire. Those from Ceylon are for 
the sake of convenience incorporated in the text with the Indian 
species. !

! As the proofs of this article come to hand [| find that Kirby's volume on 
Orthoptera has just been published in the ‘‘ Fauna of British India” 1914. It 
refers to a number of Tettigid species described in the present paper, and in order 
to clarify the confusion that may arise from the difference in determinations the 
names given by Kirby, and those that I have applied, are placed in parallel 
columns on p. 132 of this article.
