the Sub-Wealden Boring, the latter from the same clay of 
Boulogne-sur-Mer ; also a new fossil crab, belonging to the genus 
Harpactocarcinus, from the tertiary formation of New Zealand, 
discovered by Dr. Hector, F.R.S., Director of the Geological 
Survey of that Island. 
Mr. Woodward has likewise described a remarkable fossil 
orthopterous insect, from the English coal-measures, exhibited 
by him at the Geological Section of the British Association on 
the occasion of its last meeting at Bristol, which, from the vena- 
tion of the wings and other characters, he considers to be related 
to the Mantide, and for which he proposes the name of Litho- 
mantis carbonarius. Also a fossil scorpion from the same coal- 
measures, which he refers to the genus Kuscorpius, and which he 
proposes to name H. Anglicus. 
An important Memoir on ‘ Fossil Butterflies,’ by Mr. Samuel 
Scudder, comprising all that has been hitherto recorded upon 
this subject by text or illustration, has been published by the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science, at Salem, 
Mass., 1875. 
M. Preudhomme de Borre has more recently described and 
figured, in the ‘ Annales’ of the Belgian Entomological Society 
(fasc. i1., 1875; pl. v., vi.), a remarkable fossil wing found in the 
carboniferous schist at Mons, and attributed to a lepidopterous 
insect allied to the genus Attacus, which he has named Breyeria 
Borinensis. Mr. Scudder, however, demurs to the character 
ascribed to this wing, furnished with transverse reticulations ; 
while, in his opinion, differing also essentially in venation from 
the aforesaid type (Compt. R. Soc. Ent. Belg., Jan. 8, 1876).
