for its orange groves. The collections were made close to the river, ' : 

 To many of his specimens Mr. Smith attached numbers, corre- 

 sponding to those under which he made notes on the living colors of 

 the insects. The note-book containing these is, unfortunately, not 

 available, but I have preserved his numbers in the following text in the 

 event of these notes coming to light in the future. 



3. Collections Made by Mr. J. D. Haseman, in Various Parts of 

 Brazil, in 1907 and ipoS. 



I have no information concerning them other than that given on the 

 labels, which are here quoted exactly, nor have I been able to locate 

 many of his localities on the maps. 



The collections by Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. Haseman are in the 

 Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. 



4. Collections Made at Sapucay, Paraguay, by Mr. W. T. Foster, 

 now in the U. S. National Museum. 



Mr. A. N. Caudell, in his paper " On a Collection of Non-Saltato- 

 rial Orthoptera from Paraguay" (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, xii, pages 

 179, 180, Sept., 1904), gives the following information about this 

 locality, quoting from a letter from Mr. Foster, dated May 14, 1902. 

 " Sapucay is a small village situated at the base of a low table-land, the 

 elevation of which is 800 feet above the surrounding country. . . . 

 The trend of the face of the table-land is northwest and southeast. 

 The country to the southwest and east is generally level, broken by low 

 hills rising abruptly from the plains, which extend to the level cattle- 

 breeding lands of the Missions, which in turn give place to the low 

 swamp-land of the southwest corner of Paraguay, which, with the ex- 

 ception of a narrow fringe along the rivers Paraguay and Alto Parana, 

 is given over to the anaconda and tiger (jaguar). I was several 

 months down there collecting water-birds, but do not have any very 

 pleasant recollections of the district. Periodical floods extend for 

 leagues inland, filling up the swamps, which in turn extend for miles ; 

 patches of forest from a few hundred feet to a mile in diameter occupy 

 any land rising a few feet above the swamp. A few wandering tribes 

 roam the large forests of the Alto Parana, but the rest is a desolate 

 waste. 



" I do not find that the table-land mentioned above bears a differ- 

 ent fauna than that of the low lands, nearly all specimens taken by my 

 collecting boys on the higher lands being duplicated by others from 

 the plains.
