ology of this remarkable genus, after a careful study of living and fresh 
specimens of P. regalia. The author remarks that Kollaris insignia^ 
Piet., and P.. frigida^ Gerst., are only synonyms of P. regalia. The 
results of careful observations of the procreative act are fully detailed. 
He found that copulation took place many times between the same pair, 
and even after the female had commenced depositing eggs. The male 
organ is separated from the seminal vessels, and has no canal through it, 
but only a slit on the lower edge, into which the fecundating fluid is 
forced. Newport’s account of the external branchiee in the imago is in 
the main confirmed.

The writer gives it as his opinion, after a personal examination of this 
fossil, that it should be referred to the Bjphemeridai^ and not to the 
Lepidoptera.

An historical summary of what has been written on this anomalous 
genus, having especial reference to P. variegatum^ with a critical exami- 
nation of the papers published by MM. Joly on P. punctifrona. The 
author thinks direct observation of the transformations necessary before 
the genus can be finally located in this family. On the plates are original 
figures of P. variegatus^ and copies of those given by the J olys of P. 
punctifrona.
