Also Notes on Indian Locusts. By Dr. W. L. M'Gregor and 

 Captain Edwardes. Dr. M'Gregor states that two well marked 

 varieties or species of locusts had visited the north-western 

 provinces of India. The most common kind is of a yellow colour, 

 the other of a red or brick-dust ; the wings of the latter being 

 grey, spotted with black ; the yellow is larger than the red locust, 

 and the legs of the former are stronger and longer, but their 

 numbers are insignificant when compared to those of the red 

 locusts which visited the north-western provinces of India during 

 the past year. A very large flight of the yellow locusts over- 

 spread the north-western provinces in 1834, committing great 

 destruction on the crops ; their larvae appeared in October, and in 

 November they were cleared oflf by flocks of that useful bird the 

 Mina paradisea. Captain Edwardes suggests that Dr. M'Gregor 

 alludes to a different yellow locust from the one which he had 

 noticed, a drawing of which was laid before the Society by the 

 Rev, F. W. Hope. Dr. M'Gregor distinguishes the red one from 

 the yellow, by saying that the latter has grey wings spotted with 

 black, leaving the inference that the yellow ones have not such 

 coloured wings, whereas every yellow locust in the great flight 

 observed by Captain Edwardes had the wings exactly similar to 

 those of the red one. Moreover the general average size of the 

 yellow locusts which he had observed was smaller than that of 

 the red ones instead of larger.
