Length of body, 2.8"""; of head, 0.6"""; of thorax, 0.85"""; of abdo- 

 men, 1.35"""; breadth of head, l.l"""; of thorax, 1.2""". 



Green River, Wyoming-. One specimen, Nos. 4196 and 4197 (S. H.

Brcuon si>. .Scudil., Rep. Progr. Gcol. Surv. Can., 1877-1876, 177B (187'J). 



An insect apparently belonging to Bracon or a closely allied genns is 

 so imperfectly preserved as not to allow of description ; both the front wings 

 are very imperfect ; the whole of the body and fragments of the legs are 

 preserved. 



The insect was 4™" long, and the length of the front wing about 2.85™°. 



Siniilkameen River, British Columbia. One specimen, Nos. 69 and 78 

 (Dr. G. M. Dawson, Geological Survey of Canada). 



Braconid^e sp. 

 PI. 10, Fig. 18, 



Probably belonging to this family is the insect figured on PI. 10, Fig. 

 18, which represents a minute species preserved on a partially lateral, par- 

 tially dorsal view. Unfortunately the wings are nearly obliterated, and 

 though the general appearance of the insect is gained, it is impossible to 

 determine its place. Its size and general appearance would seem to indi 

 cate tliat it belongs here rather than in the Ichneumonida?, and it perhaps 

 falls in the vicinity of Laccophrys Forst. and of Macrocentrus Cress. 



Length of body, 3™"' ; of antennae as far as preserved, 2°"" ; of oviposi 

 tor, 1.5°". 



Green River, Wyoming. One specimen. No. 130 (Dr. A. S. Packard) 



Braconid.e sp. 

 PI. 10, Fig. 28. 



To this family rather than to the Ichneumonidaj also probably belongs 

 tlie specimen figured in PI. 10, Fig. 28, but of which, the antennjB and ovi- 

 positor being the only well preserved parts, not enough remains to indicate 

 any affinities with certainty. Perhaps it may fall near Meteorus.
