The Truro dates above-mentioned were furnished by 

 C. B. Gooderham. The first appearances at Truro are usually 

 considerably earlier than those at Halifax; the difference, 

 I would judge, being about a week or, in some cases 

 perhaps ten days. At Annapolis and Yarmouth the dif- 

 ferences would be greater. The first sign of Orthoptera 

 hatching at Truro in 1915 was noted on 3rd June, when the 

 tiny nymphs of C. pellucida and C. verruculatus could be 

 seen in very warm places. Newly hatched nymphs of 

 Crickets were observed at the same place on 5th June, 1915. 

 Nymphs of M. bivittatus in the second stage have been noted 

 at Halifax on 1st July. The young of M. atlanis were reported 



*A single Chorlhippxis curtipennis taken at Halifax cm IS Nov., 1917, is an unusual sur- 

 vival, too abnormal to record in this table.
