mens were taken in the margins of the woods on the stems 

 and lower branches of rose-bushes, on dry ferns, and one 

 about four feet from the ground on the main stem of a haw- 

 thorn shrub. The single female was found some distance 

 within the woods, among the low grass, herbage, and dead 

 leaves covering the ground. 



This is the first time that this species has been definitely 

 recorded from Mfxhigan.

This is by far the most abundant Tettigoniid in the dry, 

 grassy fields and pastures of the region, in such situations 

 exceeding C. fasciatus and C. brevipennis many times in num- 

 bers. It is also common in tall, dry grass and weeds along 

 fences and roadsides, and in the grassy borders of open woods. 

 One female was taken in the dune area at New Buffalo among 

 dry grass in a sandy field overrun with dewberry vines, and 

 two specimens were swept from tall grasses and sedges in the 

 drier margins of a ravine sedge marsh on the Warren Woods 

 Preserve. Hancock records this species from Lakeside in 

 August. 



Although this series exhibits a certain amount of variation 



in size, all of the specimens are considerably smaller than the 



average for the species. The measurements of two males and 



two females, representing the extremes in size in this series, 



are as follows : 



Male: length of body, 11.2 mm.; of pronotum, 2.8 mm.; of tegmina, 

 4.00 mm. ; of posterior femora, 9.0 mm.
