It inhabits India ; and is perhaps the fpecies noted by 
Mr. Jackfon in his Journey from India, p. 139. “I 
here (between Diarbekir and Moful) caught tome lo- 
cufts of an extraordinary fize, and very thick in porpor- 
tion to their length. They have no wings, move flow, 
ly, and are eafily taken. I foon found it necertary to be 
careful that they did not bite me, for I am perfuaded 
that they could eafily have bitten my finger to the bone. 
I tried one with a twig about as thick as a quill, which 
it bit through inftantly. I then difiedted one, and on 
examining one of its grinders found it nearly as large as 
a human tooth, and fo hard, that I was not able to make 
any impreflion on it with my penknife. The grinders 
were nearly the colour of mahogany. Finding that we 
were not molefted by flies or other infedls, and aferibing 
this circumftance to the exceflive heat of the fun at this 
deafon, I made an experiment on one of thefe large lo- 
cufts, by expofing it to the fun, which actually killed 
it in lefs than an hour. I alfo found that flies, when 
expofed in the middle of the day, fell down almoft in¬ 
ftantly ; and that all kinds of infedfs mu ft either get into 
fome fhade, or inevitably perifti.”
