As the remains of insects are rarely found in Carboniferous strata, a short account of three imperfect specimens, which have been discovered in the Durham coal-field, may not be deemed valueless. Indeed, with the exceptions of the specimens described from Coal-brook Dale by Prestwich, twenty-five years ago, and the examples of Xylobius sigillariœ of Dawson,—discovered by Mr. Tindall, in the Lower Coal Measures, near Huddersfield, and by Mr. Thomas Brown, of Stewarton, in the Upper Coal Measures of Kilmaurs,—I am not aware of any other fossils of this class having been noticed as occuring in Carboniferous rocks in England.
