Extract

By the kind communication of my friend, the Rev. P. B. Brodie, M.A., F.G.S., I have been able to study two very striking wing-fragments from the Coal-measures of Great Britain, which are interesting, not only from the excessive rarity of such remains in this country, but also from their relationship to the two or three already known.

Mr. Etheridge is convinced that not the slightest trace of any organ, as figured by Mr. Swinton (GEOL. MAO. Dec. II. 1874, Vol. I. Plate XIV. Fig. 3, "file"), exists on the specimen in question. The supposed "stridulating organ " is in fact only a fracture of the surfa e of the nodule, in which the wing is preserved. This is shown both on the fossil and its counterpart.–EDIT. GEOL.
