thus far only Blattariae, Mantides and Phasmida, published separately and 

 also in Mem. Soc. Phys. et d'Hist. Nat. Geneve ; the same writer's Histoire 

 Nat. du Mexique, etc., 4 e mem., 18G4-5 (Blattariae) ; 3 e mem., 1871 (Man- 

 tides) ; and further his contributions to the French Government's Mission 

 Scientifique au Mexique (see Bibl. Rec., No. 380), which has so far included 

 the Blattariae, Mantides, Phasmida and Gryllides (all these works are richly 

 illustrated, and are in French, with Latin diagnoses). Stal's Recensio Or- 

 thopterorum, I— ill, 1873-75 (Latin) has so far covered the Phasmida, 

 Acrydii and Locustariae. Walker's List of Dermaptera in the British 

 Museum, 6 vols., 8vo, 1868-71 (English and Latin), covers the Blattai'iae 

 and the saltatorial families ; it is a work thoroughly bad in classification 

 and description, and is infinitely more a hindrance than a help; as a biblio- 

 graphical aid it has its merits, and it describes about 140 N. American 

 species as new. Glover's Illustrations of N. American Entomology, Or- 

 thoptera, 4to, 1872, gives thirteen crowded plates, not executed in the best 

 manner, with names. Emmons, N. York Insects, 4to, 1854, figures a few 

 species. See also Harris's classic work on Injurious Insects, 3d ed., in 

 which the New England species known to him are described, and some of 

 them figured; my paper in the Boston Journ. of Nat. Hist., VII, 1862, in 

 which all the N. England species, and a few others, are systematically 

 arranged; and my Smithsonian Catalogue of described N. American Or- 

 thoptera, 8vo, 1868, an alphabetical index to the literature previous to 1867. 



For other important systematic works on the classification of Orthoptera, 

 see the faunal works of Fischer, Orthoptera Europaea, 4to, 1853 (Latin), 

 and Fieber's European Orthoptera in Lotos iii-iv (German). 



For works on particular families, besides those specified above, see the 

 following: Forftculariae, — Dohrn's Monographie der Dermapteren, in the 

 Stettiner Entom. Zeitung, xxiv-xxvi (German, with Latin diagnoses),

 and my Synopsis of the N. American species in the Bulletin U. S. Geol. 

 Surv. Terr., ir. Blattariae, — Brunner, Systeme des Blattaires, 8vo, 1865 

 (French, with Latin diagnoses). Mantides, — an illustrated catalogue (4to) 

 has long been in preparation by Westwood, and may be looked for at any. 

 time. Phasmida, — Westwood's Illustrated Catalogue of the Phasmidae of 

 the British Museum, 4to, 1859 (Latin and English). Acrydii, — Thomas's 

 Acrididae of N. America, 4to, 1873 (English). 



The N. American species have been mostly described by Brunner, Bur- 

 meister, Charpentier, DeGeer, Dodge, Dohrn (H), Drury, Fabricius, Fitch, 

 Germar, Girard, Gray (G. R.), Haldeman, Harris, Hermann, Kirby, Linne, 

 Olivier, Palisot, Saussure, Say, Scudder, Serville, Smith (S. I.), Stal, 

 Stoir, Thomas, Thunberg, Uhler, Walker and Westwood. The necessary 

 references to them will follow under the special groups. Samuel 11. Scuddi r.
