 seam at Sc 2 ; a large U-shaped mark at the origin of Rs, one 

 branch embracing the tip of Sc u the other the tip of R lt the 

 end of cell Sc between being pale, this brown mark continued 

 caudad almost to vein M ; a large rounded area at the end 

 of vein J? 2 +3 j cord and outer end of cell 1st M 2 seamed
