   York, 
  about 
  450 
  feet 
  (H.

  The 
  specimens 
  were 
  taken 
  

   in 
  each 
  case 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  streams. 
  

  

  Since 
  this 
  was 
  written, 
  E. 
  M. 
  Walker 
  has 
  sent 
  me 
  drawings 
  of 
  this 
  

   species 
  from 
  specimens 
  taken 
  at 
  De 
  Grassi 
  Point 
  on 
  Lake 
  Simcoe, 
  about 
  

   50 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  Toronto, 
  Canada. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  preceding 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  coloring 
  and 
  mark- 
  

   ings, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  greater 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  and 
  hind 
  legs, 
  the 
  brevity 
  

   of 
  the 
  furcula, 
  and 
  the 
  slenderness 
  of 
  the 
  cerci.
