- Though few infe&ts require more elucidation to be well underftood - 
than thofe of the Gryllus genus, no part of the fcience has been lefs | 
regarded even by fyftematic writers, who certainly appear to have 
been moft interefted to obtain a fatisfactory knowledge of them: the 
prefent {pecies is continued by Fabricius, in his Species Infectorum, 
under the Linnean genus, and fpecific name Gry ius BicutTutus. 
All of the Grylli are very liable to bailed in colour, and parti- 
eularly after death; green changes to. brown of various hues, the light 
colours become dark, and the dark colours fade, fe that no juft idea 
of the true appearance can be formed except from the soi infects.
