(1898) and the following States :—IIlinois (1895-1906), Indiana 
(1895-1903), Massachusetts (1899), Texas (1907), and Wis- 
eonsin (1901), were presented by Dr. G. L. Hancock, of 
Chicago. The value of the donation was increased by the 
fact that the species have been determined by this dis- 
tinguished Orthopterist. 
Thirty-four ladtidae from various localities were presented 
by the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The majority of
