ARTHEOPODA—INSECTS. 107 and from this rock comes the almost complete specimen of ^^^^^ Blapsium Egertoni. Lihelhila may also be noticed from the Purbeck Beds and from the Bagshot Beds of Upper Eocene age near Bournemouth. These last-mentioned beds, as well as the Oligocene Bembridge Beds of Gurnet Bay in the Isle of Wight, have furnished a number of insects belonging to many modern families. Among the fossil insects from foreign localities we Wall-casenotice first some Orthoptera allied to the cockroaches, andsome large I^europtera, from the Coal Measures of Com-mentry, AUier, France; a locality famous for the beautifulexamples that it has yielded. The next series of importanceis that from the Lithographic Stone of Solenhofen; here
