The Former Aberystwyth Collection The M.Sc., Ph.D. and research micropalaeontological collections of Prof Robin Whatley, Prof John Haynes and their students were previously housed at Aberystwyth University, University College of Wales, UK. We are pleased to announce that the collection has now been transferred to the Natural History Museum, London and a catalogue is now available on the Natural History Museum's website at: http://flood.nhm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/earth/abermicro/ Searches of the database can be made by requesting one or more of the following criteria: surname, year, fossil type, company collector (eg BP, Shell), country/sea/ocean, or Geological Period. The database can also be browsed by the first letter of a surname or by Geological Time based on any unit given in the Gradstein and Ogg timescale. Slides, residues, log books and theses associated with this vast research collection are available for loan or for consultation at the NHM. If you have any further enquiries about the collection then please contact me at the address below. Regards, Giles Miller ***************************************************************** Dr C.
