Lizard's tail marsh habitat. Xear New Buffalo there was 

 found a wet depression, fed by a small spring brook, and 

 covering somewhat less than half an acre, which is filled with 

 a luxuriant growth of herbaceous plants from two to three 

 feet in height, dominated by lizard's tail {Saumnis ccriiiiiis 

 L.), associated with which are cut-grass {Leersia oryzoidcs 

 (L.) Sw.), cat-tails, sedges, and vines in great profusion. 

 Scattered among this thick herbaceous growth are occasional 

 shrubs and bushes, mostly of buttonbush {Cephalanthus occi- 

 dcntalis L-), while the center of the marsh is occupied by a 

 thick mass of shrubbery six to ten feet tall. N^o collecting 

 was done in this thicket, which was difficult, even to penetrate ; 

 all the specimens were taken in the more open bushy and her- 

 baceous growth. The ground is very soft black muck ; on 

 every occasion on which the marsh was visited there was at! 

 inch or more of water standing upon the surface. A similar 

 area of smaller extent was found in a depression at the foot 

 of a springy hillside draining into the Galien River near the 

 Warren Woods Preserve. 



In this habitat the following species were found : 



Tryxalis brevicornis* Mclaiioplus different talis* 



Chortippus curtipcnnis* Mclaiioplus bivittatus* 



Schistocerca alutacea atutacca Scuddcria pistillata 



Paroxya clavuliger hoosicri* Scuddcria curvicauda curvicauda 



Mdanoplus gracilis Scuddcria furcata furcata
