This specimen belongs to the long- winged form {yolaticus

 quickly propelled themselves to shore." 



Melanoplns Inridns (Dodge). 



Nine specimens ; one male, eight females. Pequaming, 

 July 18 (shore), 22 ; August 16 (meadow), September 3. 

 Brule on mainland opposite Pequaquawaming Point, along 

 shore of Keeweenaw Bay, July 22. 



These specimens are much darker than individuals from De 

 Grassi Point, Ontario, but otherwise identical. I have fol- 

 lowed Blatchley (Orth. of Ind., p. 325) in considering luridus 

 and collinus as the same species. The evidence given is so 

 strong that there is no alternative. 



Melanoplns femoratns (Burmeister). 



Forty-seven specimens ; twenty-two males, twenty-three 

 females, two nymphs. Pequaming, July 9, 11 (meadow), 12, 

 18 (edge of tamarack swamp, on .shore), 20 (meadow), 23
