An abstract of 50 words or less must accompany the manuscript; therefore, a summary is not required. Footnotes: Footnotes should be kept to a minimum. Unpublished documents and personal communications should be cited in the text by footnotes and should not be included in the "References." Footnotes should be indicated by consecutive, superscript numerals rather than by asterisks or other symbols. References: In the text, citations to literature should be designated by the author's name and year of publication in parentheses. If there are more than two authors, only the senior author's name should be used in the text with the abbreviation "et al.," for example: (Smith et al. 1965). All authors should be listed in the References, however. Only published references should be given in the References section. The proper form for journal and book references in the bibliography is as follows: Scholander, F. F., V. Waiters, R. Hock, and L. Irving. 1)50.

IT may be of interest to note that the verses on Buckland quoted by Prof. J. L. Myres (NATUBE, Oct. 8, p. 673) were actually published at Oxford in 1869, in an entertaining little volume entitled “Fugitive Poems connected with Natural History and Physical Science”, collected by C. G. B. Daubeny, F.R.S., sometime professor of chemistry and botany in the University of Oxford. They are there dated Dec. 1, 1820, and attributed to Richard Whately, at that time fellow of Oriel, and later Archbishop of Dublin. The verses are reprinted in the “Life and Correspondence of William Buckland” published in 1894, where it is stated that Buckland was so pleased with them that he had copies lithographed to present to his friends.

AT the third annual conference of the Inter-University Jewish Federation held at Oriel College, Oxford, on August 3, 1920, it was unanimously resolved, in response to a request of the Zionist Organisation, to render every possible assistance to all efforts on behalf of the Hebrew University at Jerusalem. The most urgent need at the present juncture is an immediate and abundant supply of books for the Jerusalem University library. We can conceive no cause more precious and commendable than the full development and firm consolidation of the intellectual and spiritual resources of the Jewish national home. To this end books are the first requisite. In a scarcity of books the mind of a people is denied free expansion and healthy growth. To Jews, with their love of learning, the lack of books is most distressing. In Palestine, unfortunately, there is a real book famine, and even with help from all over the world it will need a great effort to build up the present University library of about 40,000 volumes into an up-to-date library worthy of the Jewish University.

The overlap and hingement are often neglected in the description of beyrichiids, partly because an examination of these features requires well-preserved material, either freed of matrix or studied in thin section, and partly because due attention has not been paid to these features. From what is known, the overlap is generally very small in the beyrichiids, with the exception of the genus Kyammodes. Kesling (1953a) has shown that the right valve overlaps the left in Phlyctiscapha rockportensis Kesling, 1953. The reverse appears to be more common; thus, the left valve overlaps the right in Hibbardia lacrimosa (Swartz and Oriel, 1948) (see Kesling, 1953b), Kyammodes, Craspedobolbina dorsoplicata Henningsmoen, 1954, and in Beyrichia ionesii Boll.

The first court held for Middlesex in February, 1673, was presided over by nine gentlemen who had emigrated from England to Virginia and who had already taken out patents for land along the water-front where they had established homes. These gentlemen justices for this first court were: Richard Perrott, Sr., Henry Thacker, John Foxcroft, Richard Perrott, Jr., Walter Whittaker and John Hazlewood. Until 1666 the area comprising the present Middlesex County, although embraced at that time in Lancaster, was divided into the Parishes of Lancaster and Pianketank, coinciding with the later Upper and Lower precincts, and each had its Established Church. Hermitage and Lower Church stand approximately on the sites of older churches in the two parishes. For economic reasons the parishioners decreed to unite Lancaster and Pianketank into one large parish, so we find the union completed at a vestry meeting held at Rosegrill, the residence of Sir Henry Chicheley, in 1666; and the new parish, co-extensive with county boundaries, took the name of Christ Church, Middlesex. Thence forward the churches in each of the old parishes became chapels of ease, and a mother church was built 'midway between Brandon and Rosegill in the small Indian field upon the land of Mrs. Brocas.' Of the old families resident in this section Bishop Meade, writing about 1855, states very significantly that "Middlesex was the seed-bed of Virginia aristocracy". Middlesex was among the most cultured counties in the Colony before the Revolution, and perhaps sent more of her sons back to England for their academic and legal education than any other county in the Colony. The first man from Virginia to return to England for his legal training was Henry Perrott, who entered Gray's Inn, as a student of law November 14, 1674. The Perrotts patented Perrott's Neck on a creek by the same name in upper Middlesex, which is known to us today as Nesting, the old home of the Eubanks. A quaint entry in the Parish Register states that "Richard Perrott, the son of Mr. Richard Perrott, decd., was born the 24th day of February 1657, being the first man child that was born in the Rappahannock River of English parents." Ralph Wormeley, of Rosegill, was the first student from Virginia to enter an English university, having matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford, in July, 1665. Thus you will see that the houses of Perrott and Wormeley set the pace that was liberally followed by other sons of old Middlesex. Since we have reviewed briefly the creation and organization of the county, together with early church history, let
