This slender, grayish-brown Cricket lives only in sandy places, 
in which its color and pubescence serve a protective purpose. 
It is hkely to be passed by for a somewhat similarly colored 
form of N. fasciatus which is frequently found in sandy areas. 
I have taken it in small numbers at Brunswick, Me., Province- 
town and South Sudbury, Mass., and Walden has secured it at 
North Haven, Ct. All specimens were taken in September 
(2 to 23) but Walker, who discovered it, records it from August 
3 to September 15 in Ontario. It is known also from Indiana, 
and in a southern race from Georgia.
