  This 
  list 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  consider 
  perfect 
  in 
  any 
  respect, 
  nor 
  do 
  I 
  claim 
  any 
  

   merits 
  for 
  it 
  j 
  on 
  the 
  contrary 
  it 
  possesses 
  many 
  faults, 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  order 
  

   in 
  which 
  the 
  names 
  occur 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  names 
  themselves. 
  However 
  this 
  

   may 
  be, 
  it 
  will 
  answer 
  the 
  purpose 
  for 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  designed, 
  viz., 
  to 
  

   show 
  the 
  great 
  numbers 
  of 
  this 
  family 
  of 
  insects 
  that 
  inhabit 
  our 
  coun- 
  

   try. 
  But 
  few 
  of 
  these 
  species 
  are 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  class 
  even 
  of 
  

   entomologists, 
  and 
  fewer 
  to 
  those 
  who 
  take 
  no 
  interest 
  in 
  the 
  insect 
  

   life 
  about 
  them. 
  By 
  a 
  careful 
  study 
  of 
  these 
  insects 
  throughout 
  the 
  

   various 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  unexplored 
  regions 
  of 
  the 
  West 
  and 
  li^orthwest, 
  

   I 
  am 
  quite 
  confident 
  that 
  many 
  others 
  will 
  be 
  added 
  to 
  this 
  already 
  large 
  

   list. 
  The 
  habits 
  and 
  natural 
  history, 
  too, 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  these 
  locusts, 
  are 
  

   but 
  comparatively 
  little 
  understood, 
  and 
  there 
  yet 
  remains 
  much 
  to 
  be 
  

   learned. 
  

  

  THE 
  WESTERN 
  CRICKET."^ 
  

  

  (Anabrus 
  simplex.) 
  

  

  In 
  various 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  far 
  West 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  different 
  species 
  

   of 
  large, 
  wingless 
  and 
  dark-colored 
  insects 
  which 
  distantly 
  resemble
