This common grasshopper is found throughout tlie Province, but 

 it is much more plentiful in the southern part of the Province, especially 

 in the more humid sections. The hind tibiae of British Columbia speci- 

 uuuis are very variable, and all gradations can be found together from the 

 typical bivittatus to the typical femoratus. In the more humid sections 

 the red-legged variety is considerably commoner that the blue-leg'ged.

Dr. E. M. Walker informs me that he took several males and females 

 of this species on a mountain at Nelson in 1920, though they are much 

 larger, paler and somewhat longer-winged that the washingtonianus 

 that is found on the summit of Banif and at Lake Louise. He also con- 

 siders that the record of Melanoplus validus from Nelson in 1906 is 

 referable to this species.
