I.—On a new species of Rostellaria from the Gray Chalk, Folkestone

Extract

There is perhaps no better collecting-ground in England for Lower Cretaceous Fossils than Folkestone, nor any which has been more industriously explored. The last fossil from this locality recorded in our Journal was in 1867 (Geol. Mag., Vol. IV., p. 65, PI. V.), when Prof. Huxley described the remains of a new reptile from the Chalk-marl east of Copt Point, Folkestone, under the name of Acanihopholis horridus. In the same Journal will be found (at p. 67) an interesting notice by Mr. Robert Etheridge, F.E.S., Patæontologist to the Geological Survey of Great Britain, of the stratigraphical position of the Cretaceous series at this locality, from whence Mr. Griffiths, the intelligent collector, obtained these and the many other fossils with which the cabinets of the Rev. Thomas Wiltshire, M.A., F.G.S., Mr. J. Starkie Gardner, F.G.S., and those of so many other private collectors as well as of our public Museums are stored.
