The author details experiments Iregarding pob^gamy and repeated copu- 
lations in some Orthopterous insects. A.cf and 5 were observed m coitu 
eight distinct times between the 21st May and 1st Junej after the sixth 
connexion the $ commenced to deposit ova; a second Ay which had 
already fecundated several females, was then placed with her, and she paired 
at least five times with him. Analogous results followed experiments upon 
Pezoiettix pcdestris, and he believes that polygamy and polyandry exist in 
many species. '
