These diagnostic features aresufficiently important to justify the creation of a new species,to which I give the name of Hyjpermeg ethes northumbriee. Type-specimen in the possession of Mr. William Eltringham. Locality.—Phoenix Brick-works, Crawcrook (Durham). Horizon.—Shale above Crow PSEUDOEOUQUEA CAMBRENSIS (Allen). (PI. IV, figs. 4 & 5.) 1901.

This is a broken left fore-wing, of which the two parts are preserved upon the surface of two small fragments of black shale. One fragment, bearing the Fig. 6.—Restoration of the left basal part of the wing, is in wing of Pseudofouquea cam- the Museum of Pactical Geo- brensis (Allen). l°g3T; the other, containing the outer 28 mm. of the wing, is in the Welsh National Museum, Cardiff.
