This represents a large weevil, the whole insect doubtless 15 mm. long in life. It is in all respects very similar to Ophryastes grandis, Scudd., from the Eocene of C^olorado, but the punctures are not connected by longitudinal striae as in O. grandis. Ophryastites is used by Scudder for fossil insects of this affinity, but of uncertain generic position. Baris (?) palaophilus, sp. n. (Fig. 4.) Elytron 3*2 mm. long and about 1'7 mm. broad ; shaped a

The punctures are about 80 yu- long, and the intervals between them are about 50//,. The rows are about 110/i 9 Baris (?) pulceophilus, CkJl. Bartonian, Bagshot Beds, Bournemouth [J. S. Gardner). Brit. Museum, 19016. So far as can be seen, this might belong to Baris. There is a superficial resemblance to Geralophus, from the Florissant Miocene ; but in Geralophus the small punctures are not over a third as long as the distance between the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Taylor and Francis, Ltd
