  Excepting

  (Harvey), 
  the 
  only 
  other

  which 
  

   it 
  has 
  been 
  reported 
  is 
  '' 
  British 
  America" 
  (Bruner), 
  but 
  without 
  further 
  

   specification 
  Professor 
  Bruner 
  now 
  thinks 
  this 
  was 
  a 
  mistake. 
  Mr. 
  

   Morse 
  tells 
  me 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  specimens 
  taken 
  on 
  Kataadn, 
  Maine, 
  5,200 
  

   feet. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  White 
  Mountains 
  1 
  have 
  found 
  this 
  grasshopper 
  from 
  the 
  

   neighborhood 
  of 
  the 
  snow 
  arch 
  in 
  Tuckermans 
  Kavine 
  (about 
  4,000 
  

   feet) 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  rocky 
  slopes 
  on 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  Mount 
  Washington 
  

   above 
  the 
  Alpine 
  Garden, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  Mount 
  Madison 
  (5,380 
  

   feet) 
  at 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  elevation. 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  taken 
  it 
  at 
  the 
  upper 
  

   limits 
  of 
  Huntingtons 
  Ravine 
  and 
  about 
  the 
  ledge 
  on 
  the 
  carriage 
  road. 
  

   It 
  frequents 
  the 
  close 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  dwarf 
  birch, 
  Betula 
  nana, 
  and 
  is 
  

   rarely 
  or 
  never 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  ground. 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  European 
  insects, 
  it 
  is 
  most 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  Pod. 
  haldensis, 
  but 
  

   is 
  a 
  considerably 
  larger 
  insect, 
  with 
  heavier 
  and 
  stouter 
  cerci 
  and 
  slen- 
  

   derer 
  and 
  longer 
  furcula.
