Kiinstler reports (Verb, zool.-bot. Gesellsch. in Wien, Bd. xiv. pp. 769-776) 
upon the injury done in certain districts of Austria to plantations by Grass- 
hoppers. These insects attack beeches, ashes, and other trees, preferring the 
younger plants, which they clear of their leaves, but then turn their attention 
even to trees sixty or seventy feet in height. The species obtained by 
Kiinstler was Pczotettix alpina (Koll.), var. colUna (with developed wings).
