The southern mocking bird, Mimus polyglottos (.), nests in numbers 
as far north as Terre Haute, and the ‘‘chuckwills widow,” a southern ally 
of the whip-poor-will, occurs in Knox and Gibson counties; while among 
the batrachians and reptiles the hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleghaniensis 
(Daud.); the southern cricket frog, Acris gryllus Le Conte; the corn 
snake, Ophibolus doliatus (1.); Say’s chain snake, Ophibolus calligaster 
(Say); the bead snake, Hlaps fulvius (.); the ground lizard, Oligosoma 
laterale (Say); the alligator snapping turtle, Macrochelys lacertina 
(Schweigger), and the yellow-bellied terrapin, Pseuwdemys troosti (Hol- 
brook), all forms whose main distribution is far to the south, find in 
southern Indiana a congenial abiding place. 
It is not strange, therefore, that we find living with these plants and 
animals a number of Orthoptera and Coleoptera whose range has hereto- 
fore been thought to be confined to the region mapped by Merriana as the 
“Lower Austral.” Thirty-two of the 148 species of Orthoptera, or 21.6 
per cent of the total, may be classed as southern forms. They are as 
follows: fice
