of high seaside oats, Uniola paniculata. At Palm Beach a few 

 individuals were observed under similar conditions. The flight 

 of this insect much resembles that of maritima and is more 

 direct than that of citrina.

It was surprising to find these specimens in the above situa- 

 tion as we had hitherto always found the insect only in reeds 

 growing out of water in swamps, marshes and sink-holes,

The comment made upon the last species, applies to some 



of these specimens as well. This species, however, usually 



prefers reeds on boggy ground rather than those growing out 



of water. 



Schistocerca serialis (Thunberg). 



Schistocerca americana of authors. 



Drury in 1775 described and figured this species as L[ibellula] ameri- 

 cana, 111. Nat. Hist., I, p. 128, pi. xlix, fig. 2, name in index. This is 

 preoccupied by Libellula americana of Linnaeus, Syst. Nat., ed. x, 

 p. 545, 1758. The next name to apply to Drury's L. americana is 

 Gryllus serialis of Thunberg, Mem. Acad. Imp. Sci., St. Petersbourg, 

 V, p. 241, 181 5, described from St. Bartholomew, British West Indies, 

 which name consequently must be used for this species.

This species was found occasional through the pine woods, 

 in the hammock and frequently in considerable numbers in 

 the vegetation back of the sea beaches.

 near the present town of Viking.
