EXPLANATION OF THE PLATES. |
[My best thanks are due to my courteous friend Mr. Auguste SallÉ, for his kind agency in securing an artist for the engraving of these plates. Owing, however, to the distance at which the work was done, a few errors have unavoidably occurred, which, to prevent misapprehension, are mentioned below.] Plate I. | Fig. | 1. | Eugonia atava.

Scudder (2/1). | | “ | 10. | The same. Neuration of the two wings, as seen in the fossil; drawn by S. H. Scudder (2/1).

Scudder (2/1). | | “ | 12. | The same. Left hind leg; drawn by S. H. Scudder (2/1). | | “ | 13. | The same. Drawn by S. H. Scudder (1/1).
