OKTIIOI'TERA OF NOVA SCOTIA. PIERS. 327 



Nova Scotia by F. Walker in 18G9 from a specimen collected 

 many years before by Lieut. Redman. This Nova Scotian 

 specimen is still in the British Museum collection, and B. M. A. 

 Cummings, who has re-examined it for me, states that it is 

 correctly determined. 



I have not so far mot with the species about Halifax, 

 although possibl}^ it will yet be obtained in suitable places 

 in that locality. Being silent and secretive, it is a difficult 

 insect to find and careful search has to be made for it. C. B. 

 Gooderham has five specimens taken in Colchester and 

 Annapolis Counties from 6 to 25 August, which have been 

 determined by Dr. E. M. Walker of Toronto and verified 

 by Prof. W. S. Blatchley of Indianapolis. They consist of 

 three males taken at Truro, Col. Co., one on an unknown 

 date by Miss L. C. Eaton, and the other two on 10 Aug. 

 1913; one female from the same place, 6 Aug. 1913; and a 

 second female collected at Granville Ferry, Ann. Co., by 

 H. G. Payne, without date. There are also in the collection 

 of the Agricultural College, Truro, two males from Black 

 Rock, Col. Co., 25 Aug., 1913. Of these seven specimens, 

 the five with dates attached were collected by Mr. Gooderham. 

 This gentleman considers it to be very rare about Truro, 

 and apparently it is also rare in other sections of the western 

 portion of the province, although possibly somewhat less so 

 than its number in collections would indicate. It is usually 

 found under flat stones in dry open woods, as well as beneath 

 logs and in hollow trees. Like other species of its subfamily^ 

 it is wholly silent, as being wingless it has no stridulating 

 organs. Adults probably should occur from about the 

 middle of Jul}^ but we have no data to confirm this.
