 atus and Melanoplus islandicus. 



Sub. 3. — Zone of Pines crossing Mountain Top. — Melanoplus fasciatus.

Station IV. 2. Carp River Valley Flood-plain (characterized by cassandra

 Podisma glacialis, Melanoplus islandicus, Atlanticus pachymerus, Scudderia

Habitats represented and characteristic species. ^

2. Thickets: — Podisma glacialis, Melanoplus islandicus, Atlanticus 



pachymerus. 



3. Bushes, leafage of: — Scudderia pistillata. 



Station VII. 2. Beaver Meadow along Little Carp River. Species taken : — 

 Camnula pellucida. 



Habitats represented and characteristic species. 



1. Grassy places — moist. The species of locust taken here is not 

 characteristic of such conditions, but it is a very common and 

 widely distributed species in the boreal zones, and may occur 

 almost anywhere, especially in grassy places. Its preferred 

 haunts are on dry. upland soils.
