with the pseudo-Neuropterous dividon. Packard (Am. Nat. 
V. pp. 707-713) maintains the homogeneity of the order Neu~ 
roptera treated by him^ especially basing his opinion on what 
he conceives to be a similarity of embryological development in 
Libellula and Chrysopa, and considering the enormous gaps 
existing between the various groups to be due to extinction of 
genera in palseozoic and mesozoic times. The Recorder takes 
this opportunity of remarking that, according to his views, 
embryology alone is not sufficient to decide the question in 
dispute, and that geological evidence sufficient to support 
Packard's theory is not yet forthcoming.
