Abstract
THESE memoirs mark a new departure in the publications of the British Museum. Instead of waiting for the time when it would be possible to issue a descriptive catalogue of the entire collection of fossil insects, it has been decided to publish shorter memoirs on portions of the collection whenever specialists can be found to undertake the work. The first two memoirs of the series are written by palaeontologists not officially connected with the Museum.
