as B. (^.) abnormis, Geinitz, and A. sopita, Scudd., is considered a syno- 
nym. The author subsequently describes a variety of B. (^Etoblattina) 
Jlabellata as var. dyadica^ p. 437, and of B. {E.) carbonaria as deichmuel- 
leri, p. 439, and refers to B. (E.) elongata, p. 440, weissigensis, p. 441, 
and B. {A.) porrecta^ p. 441. The plate represents B. abnormis^ figs. 1-3, 
B. didyma, figs. 4 & 5, B. spectabilis, fig. 7, B. Jlabellata, figs. 7 & 8, B. 
carbonaria, var. deichmuelleri, fig. 9, B. elongata, fig. 10, B. weissigensis, 
fig. 11, and B. por7’ecta, &g. 12. The author enters into a discussion of 
the confusion and errors likely to arise from the practice of forming a 
new species out of almost every fossil wing discovered.
