Following the recent discovery at Sandling (near Hythe) of a Hypacanthoplites of the group of H. milletianus (d'Orb.) in place (i.e. below the regularis level), and still comparatively high up in the Folkestone Sands, collecting at this locality was intensified, for it was realized that we now had the attractive possibility of bridging over for the first time the enormous time interval separating the latest Aptian faunas from the earliest known Albian examples of this country. Unfortunately in this respect we were to be disappointed, for although further ammonoid faunas were brought to light, they proved to be of uppermost Aptian age, and therefore substantiated this gap in the British sequence. However, despite that we have been able to extend the Aptian high into the Folkestone Sands, what is more important, we have obtained the first indication of a milletianus fauna in this country.
