ground (Sta. IV, a) Aug. i6 (No. 67); in the upland forest area 

 also, in an open place, was found a short-winged male Aug. 17 (No.

 winged female was taken Aug. 22 (No. 122) ; and an abundance of 

 short-winged males and females, and nymphs (No. 143) were found 

 Aug. 22 in the glade in the lowland forest (Sta. IV, c).

 forest floor. 



Nemohius maculatus Blatch. Spotted Cricket. 



A nymph was taken in the upland forest (Sta. IV, a) among 

 leaves Aug. 22 (No. 122). 



Blatchley ('03, p. 425) states "It is found in low open woods, 

 usually in the vicinity of or beneath logs"; Hart, ('06, p. 89) states 

 that it is found "About logs and dead wood in sparse woods and near 

 streams." 



/ipithus agitator Uhl. Woodland Cricket. 



A nymph was taken from the open area in the upland forest (Sta. 

 IV, a) Aug. 17 (No. 93) ; another from an open ravine slope (Sta. 

 IV, h) Aug. 22 (No. 124). No adults were secured. 



Blatchley ('03, pp. 458-459) records this species as from forests, 

 noting its preference for prickly ash. It is also recorded as from 

 grape-vines and dense shrubbery. The females deposit eggs in the 

 twigs of the white elm, Ulmus americana Linn.

CiCADIDiB 



Cicada linnei Grossb. (Cicada tibicen L.). Dog-day Harvest-fly. 

 PI. LV, fig. 5.) 



This insect was found at the cleared margin of the upland forest 

 (near Sta. IV, a) on low hickory sprouts Aug. 26 (No. 162). 



It is said to require two years to mature. T. L. Hankinson re- 

 ports that Tibicen septendecim L. (PI. LV, figs. 3 and and 4) was 

 found about Charleston in 1907, and branches scarred by the oviposit- 

 ing females were observed in the Bates forest ( Sta. IV, a) . 



Felt ('05, pp. 237-238) describes the emergence of the adult 

 Tibicen from the nymph skin. For the recent synonymy see Smith 

 and Grossbeck (Ent. News, Vol. 18, pp. 1 16-129. IQO?)-
