| Title | Paper, 'Note on Dr G J Hinde’s paper "On beds of sponge-remains in the lower and upper greensand of the South of England"' by Edward Hull |
| Date | 1887 |
| Description | Hull writes: 'In a valuable communication read before the Society in May, 1885, Dr Hinde has given an account of the bands of siliceous material, generally in the form of “chert,” found at intervals in the two Greensand formations of the Cretaceous period throughout the south of England—clearly indicating the extent to which siliceous sponges contributed to the formation of the successive sea-beds of this period; an extent to which, as the “Challenger” soundings show, has its parallel in some parts of the ocean at the present day.'
