* Tlie general character of the large NenropterouB wings and Buprestidean 

 elytra in the Stonesfield slate, is decidedly tropical, and in this respect they differ 

 as a whole, from the insects in the more recent Purbecks and more ancient Lias, 

 inasmuch as these shew a tendency to forms of temperate climes. North 

 America, &c.
