differ from the type in being paler, ochraceous, with no dark mark- 
ings except an irregular spot of dark brown on the thorax and 
abdomen. Clypeus strongly emarginate in front. The types were 
from the N. American Bluebird and Wax-wing. 
m.— Orthoptera. (Grasshoppers, Cockroaches, etc.) 
The only orthopterous insects mentioned by the early writers were 
cockroaches and a grasshopper. (Seep. 737.) The Grasshopper was 
probably the green Conocephalus dissimilis (fig. 191), which is still 
common in summer. 
Spotted-winged Grasshopper. (Stenobothrus maculipennis Scud.= 
Orphula maculipennis.) 
This small American grasshopper was recorded by Uhler, from 
Heilprin’s collection. 
S. bilineatus Scudder, a common North American species, was 
identified by Scudder from Jones’ collection, 1876. 
Carolina Grasshopper ; Quaker. (Dissosteira Carolina Scudder= 
@dipoda Carolina Burm.) Plate xcix; figure 18. 
This large species, which is abundant in all parts of eastern North 
America, from Canada to Texas and New Mexico, and also occurs in 
the West Indies, was recorded by J. M. Jones, in 1876. It is usually 
found in dry or sandy places, or in roads where its dull gray-brown 
color imitates the color of the ground. When it flies its large yellow 
and black wings are conspicuous. Its name ‘“ quaker” probably 
alludes to its loud quaking note, made during flight, as well as to 
its dull external colors. 
Green Grasshopper. (Conocephalus dissinilis Serv.) Figure 191. 
This species, when living, is bright light green in color and the 
female has a very long, flat ovipositor ; there is a fusiform, trans- 
verse, blackish spot across the front of the obtusely conical head. 
This species, which has been determined by Mr. Samuel Henshaw, 
is one of the very numerous species known from the West Indies 
and tropical America, though it probably reached Bermuda by natural 
agencies, before the settlement. Still it is not easy to explain how 
an insect of this kind could have been transported to this distance 
by ordinary natural causes.
