 consomtria bred from a wild 9 taken at Wateringbury, near 

 Maidstone, by Mr. W. Goodwin ; and a living larva of 8esia 

 andrenifortiiis feeding in the stem of Viburnum, lantaaa, found 

 by Mr. F. J. llobinson. 



Blattid.e in Amber. — Mr. Pv. Siielford exhil)ited some 

 Blattidie in auiber, forming part of the collection of Dr. R. 

 Klebs, of Ktinigsberg ; the specimens came from the well- 

 known deposits of Lower Oligocene age in East Prussia, 

 celebrated even in Roman times for the large quantities of 

 amber found in them. A great monograph on this amber 

 fauna was written in the ye<ars 1 845-1 85G by Berendt and 

 Germar ; in this Avork 5 species of Blattidre are figured and 

 described, but very little has been written since then on the 

 subject. A preliminary examination of Dr. Klebs' collection 

 shows that it contains representatives of six genera which are 

 identical with recent genera. These are Ectobia (2 species), 

 IscluLoptera (1 or 2 species), Phyllodroiuia (4 to 5 species).
