A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FOSSIL INSECTS. 



of the Saarbriick gymnasium, no mention being made of the 

 author's own additions to the carboniferous fauna since it was 

 issued. These and others appear in the second part, where the 

 insects occupy pp. 8-34 and pi. i. The order Palaeodictyoptera 

 is here instituted for the Dictyoptera (nom. praeocc.) of Dohrn. 

 The number of species treated is twenty-seven, not however 

 all confined to Saarbriick ; this brings the number of Saarbriick 

 insects as given in the catalogue, pp. 50-51, to thirty-eight, and 

 renders this work the most important contribution to palaeozoic 

 entomology that has ever appeared. A nominal list of 76 fossil 

 cockroaches, based on that of Heer, is given on pp. 19-21. A 

 Supplement-heft is promised.

These three papers contain a careful review of the literature 

 of fossil insects ; each geological formation is separately treated, 

 containing references to all the genera, and in very many cases 

 to the species found in it, with full bibliographical references. 

 It will be found very useful to the general student.

This series of papers covers much the same ground as the 

 preceding series of three ; but the formations are followed in an 

 ascending order, and the progress of insect life at each epoch is 

 compared to that of other contemporary animals and plants. The 

 lists of the other series are omitted, and the references to insects 

 are mostly by genera.

This communication has been frequently referred to Schilling, 

 but apparently upon no proper grounds ; his name does not 

 appear.
