Some time since Mr. John T. Stobbs, F.G.S., obtained a very well-preserved impression in clay ironstone of the wing of a Neuropterous insect from the rich plant-bed at Foley, near Longton, North Staffordshire, which he very obligingly submitted to me for study. The geological horizon is that of the “Peacock Marl” (i.e., the marl overlying the Peacock Coal), and it therefore comes from near the top of the workable Coal-measures.

This accomplished naturalist, grandson of the celebrated botanist Adolphe Brongniart, died at the early age of 40 on April 18th, 1899, having, even in so few years, achieved much splendid work in fossil entomology.
