Extract

By the kindness of Mr. B. N. Peach, F.R.S.E., F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of Scotland, I have been permitted to examine a very interesting insect-remain enclosed in a light-brown nodule of Clay-Ironstone, obtained fram Kilmaurs, Ayrshire.

In February last I had the pleasure to describe three new forms of British Carboniferous Cockroaches, viz.:—

1. Etoblattina Johnsoni, H. Woodw., Coal-Measures, Coseley, near Dudley.

2. Leptoblattina exilis, H. Woodw. do. do.

3. Lithomylacris Kirkbyi, H. Woodw., U. Coal-Measures, Meithil, Fife.

Mr. S. H. Scudder, of Boston, has described no fewer than 30 species from the Coal-Measures of N. America, whilst 41 species have been described by Goldenberg, Heer, Germar, Scudder, and others from the Coal-Measures of Europe, so that this group of Orthopterous insects was perhaps almost as well represented in the Coal-period as at the present day, and nearly as widely distributed geographically.
