The Recent Foraminifera of the British Islands

Abstract

I AM proposing, with my collaborator, Mr. Arthur Earland, to prepare a Monograph of the British Foraminifera, the work of Williamson being now in serious need of being brought up to date. With this object in view we are sending a preliminary schedule of questions relative to the shore sands of the British Islands to clergymen and medical men at coastal towns and villages at intervals of a few miles all round the coast. As these gentlemen are strangers to us, I should be very glad to hear from any persons living near the coast who would be willing to receive from us a copy of the schedule and a statement of our preliminary needs. The services which we ask of observers round the coast do not involve any serious trouble, and, of course, no expenses will fall upon those who are willing to assist us.
