A very interesting historical and biological paper. The insect is known 
in Guatemala as “El Chapulin.” It seems that the subject was first 
brought forward in the beginning of the seventeenth century by Thomas 
Gage, an English Catholic priest, who resided in the country. Full 
accounts of habits, &c., are given. Raptorial birds are the greatest 
enemies of the “ Locust,” especially a species of Buteo. They are also 
greatly infested by a parasitic Mermis , which was present in six out of 
ten examples dissected by the author. A dissertation on political economy, 
based partly on the damage caused by the insect, concludes the memoir.
