146 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



possess another female of good size, which was taken in Kew 

 Gardens four or five years ago. Since this species appears to be 

 chiefly carnivorous in its habits, it is probably more useful than 

 otherwise to the gardener (see above). The egg (fig. 2) is small 

 for so large a grasshopper, its length being about 2*2 mm. and 

 width about "8 mm. It is nearly, but not quite, a cylinder with 

 somewhat hemispherical ends, and the surface is slightly, but 

 regularly, roughened. Of the colour I cannot speak, as the eggs 

 examined were extracted from the body of a dead female.
