Abstract
THE Council of the Palæontographical Society has accepted a recommendation from its Centenary Committee urging the publication of a directory of British fossiliferous localities. The object of the scheme is to produce a small handbook from which any person interested in fossils can ascertain where particular formations and assemblages of fossils can be conveniently studied, and where in any district there is a reasonable chance of collecting typical fossils. Institutions and persons known to have an interest in geology will be circularized and their co-operation sought in supplying data about useful localities in their respective districts. Offers of help from anyone with precise and recent knowledge of fossiliferous localities will be cordially welcomed. Further details may be obtained from Mr. R. V. Melville, Palæontographical Society, c/o Geological Survey and Museum, Exhibition Road, London, S.W.7.
