Abstract
Progress in palaeoentomology is reviewed since Goss (1878–80) with special reference to the British fauna and including the geological histories of the major insect and hexapod groups and of social insects. Other types of information provided by insect remains including environment, adaptation and stratigraphy are briefly discussed. A selected bibliography is provided (including all references to fossil insects in the Proceedings) and some hopes expressed for future work. Two lepidopteran leaf mines are named, Stigmellites? gossi and S.? centennis spp. nov. and a new insect ichnotaxon, Foliofossor cranei ichnogen. et sp. nov. is described.
