No. 24, the new Brmlyuotes. This was found common in 

 the sage brush after we became familiar with its habits. 

 It is wing-less and a poor jumper, but expert at "playing 

 possum." When the bush is jarred it drops at once and 

 lies on the ground with legs folded against the body. In 

 this condition it is very difficult to find.

C. F. BAKER. 



Of the past year's collecting in Nevada, Middle West- 

 ern California, Southern California and Western Nicara- 

 gua, but a small number of species have been determined, 

 though practically all are in the hands of specialists. 



Besides the Nevada species to be issued in the first de- 

 cade, there were also collected in the same locality Camnula 

 pellucklii Scudd., very common; one of the "Jerusalem 

 Crickets", Cacopteris inermis Scudd. common; T rime rot ropis 

 /a/ia.Y Sauss., and Xiphidium occidentale Morse, occasional; 

 under boards, logs, and stones the curious Stenopelnmtus 

 longispina Brunn., occurred frequently. Some of the Ne- 

 vada Melanopli are still undetermined. 



At Stanford University, California, I found Meliinoplus ■ 

 tferasfaZor Scudd., and M. imnus Scudd. fairly common and 

 in about equal numbers. Xiphidium occidentale Morse is 

 also not uncommon there. Under boards, logs and stones 

 at Stanford there may frequently be found the very inter- 

 esting Ceuthophili — C. pacificus Thorn., and C. henslmwii 

 Scudd.
