3 species of fossil Neuroptera described and figured, and a list of the 
known Neuroptera , Orthoptera and Coleoptera (only 7 species in all)

all the Carboniferous Neuroptera of Great Britain belong to a single 
group, not only in this group not represented (at least at all conspicuously) 
in any other locality, whether in Europe or America, but also the pre- 
vailing forms of other coal measures, the Dictyoneurce , Termites, &c., are 
entirely absent from England.’’
