instalments of six monographs devoted to Fishes, Mollusca, Trilo- 

 bites, and Grraptolites. The second part of Dr. Smith Woodward's 

 Monograph of Ohalk Fishes resembles the first part in being illus- 

 trated by explanatory restored sketches in addition to the usual 

 lithographs of fossils. Mr. Woods completes the first volume of 

 his Cretaceous Lamellibranchia ; and Dr. Wheelton Hind finishes his 

 Monogi-aph of Carboniferous Lamellibranchiata, apart from a brief 

 Appendix which is to appear in 1904. Dr. A. H. Foord is to be 

 •congratulated on finishing his important Monograph of the Car- 

 boniferous Cephalopoda of Ireland ; and subscribers will express 

 the hope that he may soon supplement it by another volume treating 

 of the similar fossils of Great Britain. Mr. Cowper Eeed begins 

 a new Monograph of the Lower Palaeozoic Trilobites of Girvan, 

 which ai'e very numerous, though for the most part fragmentary. 

 The Misses Elles and Wood contribute another valuable section of 

 their Monograph of British Graptolites, the descriptive portion this 

 year relating to the family Leptograptidee. The Annual Report of 

 the Society is now prefixed to the volume, and from it we learn that 

 during the year ended 31st March, 1903, there was a serious 

 reduction in the income. New subscribers are needed to replace 

 many recent losses by death, and we commend the Palseontographical 

 Society's guinea's-worth to the notice of all geologists who are not 

 yet acquainted with it. The Secretary of the Society, from whom 

 all information may be obtained, is Dr. A. Smith Woodward, British 

 Museum (Natural History), South Kensington, London, S.W.

1. — The publications of the Geological Survey of England and 

 Wales again claim our attention, the first of the present series 

 relating to the country near Chichester. This memoir takes in an 

 area of 216 square miles, all in the county of Sussex, and includes 

 a large tract of the South Downs, which presents a bold escarpment 

 of Chalk stretching from east to west and fronting to the north, 

 overlooking the great Wealden area, a portion only of which is 

 represented on the map (Sheet 317). It embraces the picturesque 

 regions of Midhurst, Petworth, and Pulborough, on the north, and 

 the low-lying fertile tracts of drift-gravel and brickearth on the 

 ■south. The Chalk Down descends gradually southwards to a low
