Iowa. C. J. Drake (June 2h); Grasshoppers have been hatching in consid- 
erable numbers in western Iowa this spring. In comparison with former 
years the hatches are rather late. The nymphs of the two-lined grass-

MORMON CRICKET ( Anabrus simplex Hald. ) 
Colorado. G. M. List (June 22): The Mormon cricket is quite numerous in 
the Blue Mountain area in western Moffat County. Several large bands
