On Orthoptera from the Transvaal ttc. 475 LXIV. — Notes on a Collection of Gryllidai, Stenopelmatidte, Gryllaciidffi, and ^atxo A\([?& formed by Mr. IV. L. Distant in the Transvaal and other South-and East-African Localities. By W. F. KiRBY, F.L.S., F.E.S., &c. The following list is preliminary to Mr. Distant's compre-hensive work on the Insects of the Transvaal, now in course of preparation, and may be followed from time to time by other lists of a similar character. Two new species of Stenopelmatid^e are provisionally referred to Carcinopsis ; but they differ somewhat in the structure of the head, and it is probable that many species of the family remain to be discovered, which may necessitate a revision of the o-eneric characters.
