A general review of paleozoic insects, attempting to show 

 " that the laws of succession of the insect tribes are quite similar 

 to those which have long been known to hold in other groups of 

 the animal kingdom ; and that the facts are, in the main, such as 

 the theory of descent demands." The general conclusions are 

 summarized under twelve heads. It is noticed and criticised by 

 de Borre in Compt. rend, soc.ent. Belg., (z), no. 65, p. n. 8. 

 Bruxelles. 1879.

 plete revision of the species of both worlds, with an 

 essay toward their classification. Mem. Bost. soc. nat. 

 hist., 3: 23-134, // 2 ~6- 4- Boston. 1879. 



The first attempt to classify any group of paleozoic insects of 

 both worlds by characters drawn from the venation of the wing. 

 More than sixty species (thirteen of them new) are described 

 and figured ; they are divided into two tribes and eleven genera, 

 and separated as a whole from modern cockroaches under the 

 name Palaeoblattariae. .See also Geinitz, F. E.

 with a study of their affinities. A Jurassic may-fly is also de- 

 scribed and the general conclusions summarized at the close.

The only two hexapods hitherto known (excepting a cockroach) 

 are Neuroptera and not Orthoptera as had been recently main- 

 tained. Two new species are described, Archaeoptilus ingens, 

 the largest paleozoic insect known, and Brodia priscotincta. re- 

 markable for the preservation of the colored bands of the wing. 

 Separates (without change of pagination) bear on the cover the 

 title New carboniferous insects.

The first half is descriptive of the locality and its geology ; the 

 paleontological portion is mainly devoted to insects and plants, 

 of which a running systematic review is given. The conclusion 

 is reached that the beds, the most prolific of insects in the world, 

 " belong in or near the oligocene." An abstract will be found in 

 Harv . univ. bull., 2 : 267. 4 - Cambridge. 1881. It was also 

 read before the Boston natural history society. See Proc. Bost. 

 soc. nat. hist., 21 : 81- 8. Boston. 1881.
