And I should like to see some one else doing the borings. 
In his paper on ‘‘The Bargate Beds of Surrey and their 
Microscopic Contents,” F. Cuapman* has added largely to our 
knowledge of that part of the Lower Greensand. 
He thinks that these beds are neither the base of the Folkestone 
Beds nor the top of the Hythe Beds, both of which suggestions 
had been made; but are rather a distinct series, perhaps repre- 
senting the intervening Sandgate Beds, which had been supposed 
to be absent here. 
Like the Sandgate Beds, these Bargate Beds contain much 
clayey matter, and they thin out toward the area where the 
former occur. ; 
Two sections near Guildford are noticed in great detail, with 
an account of the heavy minerals in one case, and with micro- 
scopic sections in the other. 
The Ostracoda and the Foraminifera are described, there 
being 20 species of the former (of which 7 are new, and 4 are 
Jurassic forms), and 139 of the latter (of which 11 are new, and 
107 others hitherto unrecorded from beds of this age). This 
part of the paper (41 pages) should be of interest to our micro- 
scopic members. 
A. §. Woopwarp’s ‘‘ Notes on the Sharks’ Teeth from British 
Cretaceous Formations’’+ has a reference to one Surrey specimen, 
from Upper Chalk near Guildford (pl. v, fig. 18). 
Dr. W. F. Hume’s general paper, ‘‘ The Genesis of the Chalk,” t 
is of interest to all chalky counties. 
An “Excursion to Oxted and Titsey’’§ contains but a short 
reference to two pits in the Folkestone Beds. 
The paper by B. Fowrer on ‘‘the Hythe Beds .. . in the 
Liphook and Hindhead District ’’ || refers to our county and the 
bordering part of Hampshire. Various sections and springs are 
noticed. 
An account of an ‘‘ Excursion to Redhill and Nutfield’’" deals 
with the Fuller’s earth and with the classification thereof. 
Dr. J. W. Grecory’s notice of an ‘‘ Excursion to Guildford 
and Shalford,” ** contains a map showing the outcrops of the 
Gault and of the following divisions of the Lower Greensand :— 
Upper Sands, Bargate, Pebble Beds, Lower Sands, Passage Beds 
and Atherfield Clay, the Bargate Beds irregularly disposed in 
the Pebble Beds, and not at one horizon.
