[Note.—In the absence of Dr. Carpenter in Uganda I 
have corrected the proofs of his paper and compared all 
the species Nos. with the material in the Hope Depart- 
ment. In this work much kind assistance was given by 
Canon K. St. Aubyn Rogers. A few additional deter- 
minations in the Acridiidae, due to the kind help of 
Dr. B. P. Uvarov, have been inserted. One or two notes, 
signed by my initials, have been added, together with a 
few references to the literature of the subject. In order to 
avoid overburdening the paper I have chiefly made use 
of “Essays on Evolution” (Oxford), which contains full 
references up to 1908, the year of publication.—E. B.

show some point of especial interest. Three series of tables
