 students of North American Orthoptera and especially by those residing within 

 the territory covered by it. It contains keys and descriptions of all the species 

 found in the "U. S. east of the Mississippi Biver and Canada east of the 90' 

 Meridian." It includes in all 353 species and 55 varieties. The work is clearly 

 written and contains many text and other illustrations in black and white. The

Morse, Albert P. Manual of the Orthoptera of New England including the 

 Locusts, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and their Allies. Proceedings of the Bostoij 

 Society of Natural History, Vol. 35, No. 6, pp. 197-556, pi. 10-29. April, 1920. 



This is a valuable contribution to a knowledge of the Orthoptera and as a work 

 covering a limited area probably ranks alone in, its thoroughness. The book is 

 designed for the beginner as well as for the advanced student and is in consequence 

 provided with careful anatomical descriptions accompanied by clear text figures:. 

 There are keys to the various genera and species followed by descriptions and often 

 accompanied by figures. At the end of the book are 12 plates, six of them colored, 

 showing adults and anatomical structures used in classifications. We believe that 

 no orthopterist can afford to be without this Manual.
