WISCONSIN 
The whole of Wisconsin is in the eastern forest region and the 
natural vegetation areas are as follows: 
1. Jack, red, and white pines — northern part. 
2. Birch, "beech, maple, and hemlock association — northern part* 
3. Qak;hickory association — southern part. 
Like Michigan, there is a lot of cut-over stump land, small 
pasture, and hay meadow which, under extreme drought and overpay taring, 
furnishes ideal "breeding grounds for Melanoplus m cxicanus and Camnula, 
pellucida, . The vegetation is very lush, affording r.n abundance of plajit 
cover. 
Most of the specimens are from pa.sture grassland. Altogether, 
789 specimens were taken, representing only 9 species. Only 3 habitants 
were included. According to the collections, M. femur- rub rum formed 
over 80 percent of the population. C. pcllucida has "been the dominant 
species for severa.l years. The rains or foggy weather in June just a.hout 
wiped out this species, as well as the general infestations. The severe 
infestations have shifted to the southern part of the State.
