A most interesting orthopterological contribution, written by J. Ports- 

 chinsky in Russian, and translated by J. Kolinsky into English, appears 

 in the Entomologists' Record lor 1901, xiii, pp. 210-213, 240-243, 259-261. 

 One new species, Eremobia grandis, is described, and a little known 

 species, Nocarodes cyanipes, treated of in some detail. But the most 

 interesting feature of the paper is the able discussion of the origin of 

 sound-producing organs in the Ackidid^k, and of the adaptation of color 

 in protective resemblance and sexual selection. This portion of the arti- 

 cle .should prove interesting reading for any one, scientific or not. A 

 short description of the fields about Erivan and Echmiadzin, in Transcau- 

 casia, the home of Eremobia gratidis, is given and the botanical features 

 noted.— A. N. Caudhll, Washington, D. C.
