364 VINE : POLYZOA AND MICROZOA OF YORKSHIRE AND NORFOLK. 
1882 by Mr. W. Wliitaker, F.G.S., of the Geological Survey of 
England, ('•') it will perhaps be as well to refer the student to these 
papers for special details, as 1 could only feebly repeat here remarks 
and expressions of opinion which these respected authors have said 
so well in the papers referred to. 
In the year 18591 the Rev. T. Wiltshire read a paper before the 
Geologists' Association on the Red Chalk of England, and to him 
belongs the credit of bringing forward the subject in a systematic 
way. He describes the Red Chalk through Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, 
and Norfolk, " notices that whilst many of the fossils at Hunstanton 
are Gault species, others are Lower Chalk species, and concludes that 
probably it is better to regard it as an intermediate formation 
between the Lower Chalk and the Lower Greensand, which comes 
into being when the Gault and Upper Greensand have almost thinned 
out." In the list of fossils (pp. 275, 277) Mr. Wiltshire catalogues a 
very fine series derived from Speeton, Hunstanton, and Muswell 
Hill. A few species of Fwaminifera, Entomostraca, and Polyzoa 
are given by the author, altogether 47 species are catalogued, which, 
aided by the clear and precise description of the Red Rocks in tlie 
text of the address, added considerably to our knowledge of the 
palaeontology of these rocks up to that date. The " microzoa" were 
as follows : — 
Foraminifera : Cristellaria rotulata, Lamk. Collection of Prof. 
T. R. Jones. 
Entomostraca : Cytherella ovata, Roemer. Collection of Prof. 
T. R. Jones. 
Polyzoa : Idmonea dilatata, d'Orb. Collection of Mr. Bean. 
„ Diastopora ramosa (Dixon) Lonsd. Collected by 
Mr. Wiltshire. 
„ Ceriopora spongites, Goldfuss. Collected by 
Mr. Wiltshire. 
The other fossils were in different collections, named by Mr.

I quote from the Geologist.
