and liberality will not be permitted to suffer for want of 

 timely assistance from those who may now benefit by 

 the advantages offered by the results of their labours. 



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 the Ryde, Cowes, 

 Sconce, Headon Hill, Hordwell, Barton and Bracklesham, 

 London Clay fossils, from Sheppy 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, especiall}' 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 Histor}^ Society has endeavoured 

 to carry out. 



ENTOMOLOGY. 



The Entomological Collection is in the course of 

 arrangement in the new cabinet, and the Aculeate 

 Hymenoptera, occupying nine drawers, are already ar- 

 ranged. 



The majority of scientific Entomologists residing in or 

 near London have confined their researches principally 

 to the Metropolitan district, or to the Southern counties 

 of England ; consequently the Midland counties present 

 an almost unworked field, which must contain very many 

 interesting novelties.
