In Humberside Geologist No. 3 Dr. R.M. Stainforth tells us of Mr. C.F.B. Shillito who collected microfossils from the Chalk marls of Lincolnshire. Mr. C.W.Wright has recently sent us some of these microfossils. He says that they were collected at Ulceby and are presumably from the Upper lata or planus zone. There are six small corked sample tubes, three of which have labels in Shillito's handwriting. The labelled tubes contain "Protosphaera ? globularis", "? Prolosphaeria patelliformis", and "Terebratulina gracilis". The other three tubes contain crinoid columnals, cidarid spines and cidarid plates and bosses.

Mr. Wright has also sent a set of Thomas Sheppard bibliographies, from the Naturalist and Yorkshire Geological Society Proceedings, and some papers about inoceramid bivalves from the Upper Cretacecus. Mr. Whitham says that these papers, although some are written in German and French, are very useful for identifying specimens in the Society's Centenary Chalk collection and may prove helpful in the correlation of zones and localities.
