Brodie, P. B. A history of the fossil insects in 

 the secondary rocks of England. Accompanied by 

 a particular account of the strata in which they oc- 

 cur, and of the circumstances connected with their 

 preservation. 8. London. 1845. pp. (18) 130, pi. u. 



The introductory observations, explanation of plates, notes, 

 and many names, are by Westwood. This, the only separate 

 work on fossil insects published in England, is still the chief 

 source of pur too inexact knowledge of the liassic and other 

 secondary insects of that country. The body of the work, Mr. 

 Brodie's part, is divided into four chapters, of which the first 

 deals with the wealden, the second with the oolite, the third 

 with the lias, and the fourth with miscellaneous matter, including 

 insects of continental strata.

 strata with remains of insects and other fossils, at 

 Swindon, Wilts. Quart, journ. geol. soc. Lond., 3,

A geological paper, giving no further account of the insects 

 than appears in the title.

 fly and a new species of Leptolepis in the upper lias

The description (2 pp.) is by Westwood, but the name, Libel- 

 Ma (Heterophlebia) dislocata, is by Brodie. The rest of the 

 paper is on the geology of the district. I have not seen the sep- 

 arate paper.

 insects discovered, most of which were Coleoptera.
