This article describes the experiences of the New York State Division of the Budget over the past ten years with the decentralized administration of an organizationally-based system for selecting and developing employees for promotion. This system assesses candidate training and experience against the requirements of the position to which they aspire as well as recent job performance on behaviors relevant to performance in the promotional position. Overall, both managers and candidates have found the system to be more effective than traditional written/oral exam processes in furthering career development within the Division, selecting employees for promotion, and rewarding current performance.

Professor Morse's well-known “Manual” treats of the orthopterous fauna of Massachusetts in general, but of the eastern maritime area in particular. The region extending from the Worcester Plateau to the New York State Line includes a variety of environment which apparently have not been examined from the standpoint of Orthoptera nearly as thoroughly as the eastern half of the state. The present list of Acrididae is the result of collections made by the writer chiefly at Cummington and about Amherst, during the past three years. Like our native ferns,grasshoppers arc usual1y found amid surroundings suited to the ecological complex of the particular species concerned. Mention of some differences shown by the Life Zones of western Massachusetts may be helpful in understanding the distributional factors of local Acrididae.
