During the latter part of lOl-'] the compiler of these notes 

 had the pleasure of visiting the entomologists of Hawaii in 

 Honolulu. While there the subject of orthopteroid insects 

 naturally came up for discussion along with other matters 

 entomological. Among the specimens examined were a num- 

 ber of Orthoptera from the Fiji Islands. Most of these were 

 brought along to the University of Nebraska to be studied. 

 Later a second collection of these insects taken in the same 

 islands was receivd from Professor J. F. Illingworth of the 

 College of Hawaii. 



In studying this material a list of these insects for the 

 group of islands was prepared as a basis for the determina- 

 tions of the forms in hand. Several new forms were found 

 among the collections studied and their descriptions are given 

 herewith. In this paper the Isoptera or termites are not in- 

 cluded.
