258 ORTHOPTERA OF NOVA SCOTIA. ^PIERS. 



p. 23). I have not detected it so far about Halifax, where 

 the marshy tracts best suited to it, are not so common as in 

 some of the western parts of the province. Still it should 

 be looked for in marshy and boggy areas or low wet woods. 

 In the western parts of Nova Scotia it is rather common 

 in suitable wet localities in Colchester, Hants, Kings, Anna- 

 polis, Digby, and Yarmouth counties. Only the typical long- 

 pronotumed form {A. granulatum granulatum Kir by) has so 

 far been taken; although the form sometimes called uariegatum, 

 with the pronotum and wings more or less abbreviated, may 

 yet be met. In C. B. Gooderham's collection, Truro, there 

 are twelve specimens (4 males and 8 females) taken by 

 himself, E. C. Allen, G. F Collingwood, and Miss V. L. 

 Tarris, at the following localities: Truro, Col. Co. (female. 

 15 April, 1917, and two others seen; one 22 April, 1917; 

 female, 30 May; male, 18 June; female, 23 July, all in 1915); 

 McNutt's Creek, Col. Co. (female, 16 May, '14); Kennet- 

 cook, Hants Co. (male, 6 June, '14); Windsor, Hants Co. 

 (female, 22 July, '14); Wolfville, Kings Co. (female, 29 Aug., 

 '12); Kentville, Kings Co. (female, 28 May, '16); and Yar- 

 mouth (2 males, 25 May, '14; 4 Oct., '04). In the Agricul- 

 tural College collection, Truro, are two females, one taken 

 2 June, '16, and the other from Smith's Cove, Digby Co.. 

 4 June, '15. In E. C. Allen's own collection is a female 

 collected at Deerfield, Yar. Co., 3 June, '15. Total number, 

 4 males and 11 females. In these localities are found the 

 wet, marshy conditions and sandy soil to which the species 

 is adapted. It is quite likely that it will be detected, but 

 more rarely, in some of the fewer similar areas which are 

 situated on the Atlantic side of the province. The dates 

 given above, show that it occurs at least from 15 April (when 

 the grass is beginning to sprout) to 4 October. Like other 

 species of the subfamily, it hibernates in the adult form, 

 and thus is one of the earliest species to be met with in the 

 province. The determination of Mr. Gooderham's specimens
