The fine example of the ‘‘ Megacerus”—‘“ Fossil deer of 
Treland,” from Lough Gur, near Limerick, which was pre- 
sented to the Society by the late Richard Greaves, Esq., is 
now placed in the Geological room of the Museum. 
A remarkably fine head, not quite perfect, of a gigantic 
Ichthyosaurus, from the upper Lias of Whitby, and two 
Casts of the skulls of a large-sized Labyrinthodon, from 
the Keuper of Germany, have been presented to the Society. 
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 
placed, and which will render the whole less crowded than 
it is at present. It is impossible to arrange such a collec- 
tion properly, and for the same reason it is much less 
profitable than it otherwise would be for all purposes of 
general instruction. 
Though some of the desiderata have been filled up, there 
are several formations which are still very defective, 
amongst which may be enumerated the following:—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.
