Excerpt from Guide to the Genera and Classification of the North American Orthoptera Found North of Mexico The following Tables and Bibliographies are published, not as a finality, but for temporary use by students of Orthoptera in this country, who have few means for working up their collections. The author contemplates a general work on the classification of our Orthoptera, of which this is merely a Prodromus and which may serve its purpose until the material at hand has been more thor oughly studied. The frequent demands made for information have prompted it. The greater number of the tables are based upon those of Stal, Brunner and de Saussure, but these authors are in no way responsible for the form in which they here appear.
