By G. C. CRAMPTON, PH.D.* (Plate XIII) In the March, 1914, issue of the Canadian Entomologist (Volume xlvi, No. 3, pages 93-99), Dr. E. M. Walker has described and figured a very remarkable insect, Grylloblatta campodeiformis, which combines within itself characters com-mon to a number of "Orthopteroid" insects. Indeed, in many respects, it may be considered as a veritable "living fossil," and from the point of view of the study of insect phylogeny, it is one of the most important of recent pterygotan forms. Through the kindness of Dr. Walker, T have been able to make a study of the external anatomy of this important an-*Contribution from the Entomological Laboratory of the Massachu-setts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass. 337
