(Plate II) 



Through the kindness of Mr. A. N. Caudell, 1 have been 

 able to make a study of the venation of the wings of Zorotypus 

 SH \dcri, which is of a much more primitive type than the 

 venation of the wings of Zorotypus hnbbivdi (the only alate 

 Zoraptcron thus far figured) and is, there lore, much better 

 for the purpose of determining the interpretation of the 

 homologic-s of the X.oraptcron \rnation, or for indicating the 

 origin and affinities of the Zoraptera, which are among the 

 most important forms connecting the higher with the lower 

 tvpes of insects. In addition to pointing out the probable 

 homologies of the venation of the wings of the Zoraptera, I 

 would present the evidence of the venation of these and allied
