Describes and figures three distinct fragments of a scorpion, 

 referred to one species called Eoscorpius anglicus. An abstract, 

 under the title " The discovery of a fossil scorpion in the Eng- 

 lish coal measures" is given in Hardw. sc. gossip, 1876: 20.

Describes and figures Lithomantis carbonarius, which with 

 Westwood, Waterhouse and McLachlan he considers as be- 

 longing in "the neighbourhood of the Mantidae." Corydalis 

 (Gryllacus) Brongniarti and a modern species of Blepharis are 

 also figured for comparison as related to it. A list of fifty-eight 

 paleozoic insects is appended. An abstract, under the title

The insects are mentioned on p. 344, mostly in a List of 

 insect remains from Gurnet Bay, near Cowes, Isle of Wight, 

 determined by the late Frederick Smith. One hundred and 



twenty-five specimens are mentioned but only eighteen genera 

 or families specified and one species.

APPENDIX. 



In this appendix I have placed not only such references as were overlooked in printing the preceding pages, and those that 

 have been published during the two years of its passage through the press, but also all contributions to the literature of fossil 

 insects of -which only incomplete memoranda could be obtained, through allusions to them in the works of others. Diligent 

 search has been made for the early literature of the subject, and especially of amber insects. Perhaps not one half the works or 

 papers concerning amber referred to in bibliographies have been procurable in this country, and of those seen comparatively 

 few contain references to insect-enclosures. The scattered allusions to amber insects taken from older authors and published 

 later than the seventeenth century have in general been left unnoticed, as wholly valueless and uninteresting ; but ail others, 

 where possible, have been introduced into the list in a more or less perfect form. The best notice of the early literature of amber 

 will be found in Boehmer's'BAA.. script, hist, nat., 4, i: 468-477. 8. Lipsiae. 1788. The few papers concerning the relationship 

 of the Merostomata and A rachnida have also betn introduced into this appendix, but the extensive literature of the Merostomata 

 generally has not been added, as it should be, were the views of Van Beneden and Lankester to prove correct. 



I am much indebted to many correspondents, but especially to Dr. H. A . Hagen, for assistance in preparing this bibliog- 

 raphy, which will certainly strike even those well acquainted with the subject as unexpectedly extensive. More than four hun- 

 dred authors are represented as having concerned themselves more or less with fossil insects. S. H. S-
