Among the twelve in.sects which Professor Dorf collected near Schefferville in Labrador is a neuropteron of the suborder Raphidiodea. This is the first Cretaceous snake-fly to be found, though the group is known trom older deposits, Permian as well as Jurassic (Martynova, I96I). The Labrador. fossil has more in common with the Jurassic species than with the Tertiary and Recent families, Inoceliidae and Raphidiidae, but clearly represents a distinct family.
