StIl, Sv. Ak. Handl. Bihang, iii. No. 14, pp. 21-24, criticises his system 
as propounded in Parti, of his “ Recensio Orthopterorum,” and points out 
that, inter alia, his divisions founded on the length of the anteunm must 
bo abandoned. He places more reliance upon the presence or absence of 
an apical spine on each margin of the upper side of the posterior tibia3, 
and gives lists of genera that present these conditions. 
Caloptenus spretus. In Riley’s Rep. Ins. Mo. vii., more than, half the 
volume (pp. 57-156) is occupied by the Rocky Mountain Locust,” 
principally consisting of detailed accounts of the great ravages caused by 
it in 1875 ; many new points in its natural history are cleared up, and 
suggestions thrown out for combating the pest in the future. In addi- 
tion to figures of the species in various stages, and of its enemies, 
other allied insects are also figured, viz . : — Acridium americanum, OEdi- 
poda phcenicoptera, Brachypeplus magnus, Tragocephala viridifasciata, 
and Tettix granulosa, as species sometimes mistaken for it. One lengthy 
chapter, “ Locusts as food for man,” is sufficiently explained by the title. 
As this Report embodies everything of importance published on the 
insect, it is not necessary to refer to the numberless notices published in 
(chiefly American) journals and newspapers. A good summary of its ravages 
in Manitoba and the North-west Territories in 1874, is given by G. M. 
Dawson, Canada Nat. viii. pp. 120-134. See also J. C. Wise, Warren 
Smith, and Allen Whitman, The Grasshopper, or Rocky Mountain 
Locust, and its ravages in Minnesota,” a special report to the Governor.
