No. 40.] 2« 



The Society proposes to carry on researches by having a permanent staff of 

 collectors located in such districts as are prolific in objects of Natural History, 

 either fossil or recent. Its members receive, in return for their subscriptions, 

 suites of the specimens so obtained. 



The Society has a collecting station on the Hampshire coast, and has already 

 distributed more than 12,000 of the beautiful fossils of Barton Cliff and Colwell 

 Bay, besides extending the list of British fossils by the discovery of many new 

 and interesting species. 



For any information in relation to the Society, address " The Secretary of 

 the British Natural-History Society, York."
