A fine example of the ‘‘Megaceros’—‘‘Fossil deer of 
Ireland,” from Lough Gur, near Limerick, has been 
presented to the Society, by Richard Greaves, Esq., and 
is now placed in the Geological room of the Museum. 
Owing to the increase of accommodation upstairs, it is 
now hoped that some new cabinets will be added to the 
Geological room, in which the increasing collection can be

The Eocene Tertiaries, especially those of Ryde, Cowes, 
Sconce, Headon hill, Hordwell, Barton, and Bracklesham. 
London Clay fossils from Sheppey and Bognor, Upper and 
Lower Greensand, Great Oolite, Devonian and Lower 
Silurian will be very acceptable. The aid of the members 
is particularly requested in procuring fossils from the 
County, especially those of the Lias, Keuper, and Permian, 
as it should be the chief aim of all local Museums to have 
as fine a suite as possible from the strata which occur in 
the immediate neighbourhood, and this the Warwickshire 
Natural History Society has endeavoured to carry out. 
BRITISH MAMMALIA. 
Although no addition has been made to the British 
Mammals since last year, we devote this paragraph to the 
collection, hoping that we may thereby meet with assis- 
tance in its completion. Unlike British Birds, which
