The southern mocking bird, Mi mux polyglottos (L.), nests in numbers 

 as far north as Terre Haute, and the "chuekwills widow," a southern ally 

 of the whip-poor-will, occurs in Knox and Gibson counties ; while among 

 the batrachians and reptiles the hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleghaniensis 

 (Daud.) ; the southern cricket . frog, Acris gryllus Le Conte ; the corn 

 snake, Ophibolus ■ doliatus (L.) ; Say's chain snake, Ophibolus calligaster 

 (Say) ; the bead snake, Elaps fulvius (L.) ; the ground lizard, Oligosoma 

 laterale (Say);: the alligator snapping turtle, Mucrochelys Iwcertina 

 ( Schweigger ) , and the yellow-bellied terrapin, Pseudemys troosti (Hol- 

 brook), all forms whose main distribution is far to the south, find in 

 southern Indiana a congenial abiding place. 



It is not strange, therefore, that we find living with these plants and 

 animals a number of Orthoptera and Coleoptera whose range has hereto- 

 fore been thought to be confined to the region mapped by Merriam as the 

 "Lower Austral." Thirty-two of the 14S species of Orthoptera, or 21.6 

 per cent of the total, may be classed as southern forms. They are as
