border of the humeral area above them. If the most anterior of 

 the preserved veins be Sc, as appears very likely, then this fossil 

 must belong to a more archaic group than the Mesoblattinida> i 

 seeing that Sc appears to have retained its primitive branched 

 condition and has remained of considerable length. The affini- 

 ties of this specimen are quite uncertain, and it does not seem to 

 me to be complete enough to merit a name.

Specimens No.l fila, 121b (part and counterpart). These repre- 

 sent fragments of a cockroach tegmen, very indistinctly pre- 

 served, and not well enough characterised to merit a name. The 

 basal half or more of the tegmen is shown, with most of the anal 

 area. The venation is indistinct, except for 8c and some of the 

 branches of K, which appear to be thick, strongly formed veins. 

 Length, 6 mm.; greatest breadth, 3 mm.
