GREAT LOCUST. 
This Locust is by much the largest insect of 
the genus to which it belongs. It is consi- 
dered, by Edwards, who made the original 
drawing, as about six times the quantity 
of the common Great Brown Locust; from 
which, he observes, it differs little otherwise 
than in being ridged in a remarkable manner 
on the back. This inse£l, which was the 
property of the late Mrs. Barrington of Bath, 
was all over of a reddish brown colour. One 
of this "species," says Edwards, is in the 
British^ Museum, but not quite so large as that 
from which I drew my figure.'* From what 
country this Locust came, Edwards was una- 
ble to learn ; but he informs us that it was, at 
the time of his writing, in the hands of his 
good friend Mr. Millar, Bookseller, near the 
Admiralty Office, who had obliged hirn with 
the use of many curious subje6ls of Natural 
History. 
As we possess no particular Information re- 
spe6ling this Great Locust, which Edwards
