MORE ON PURBECK

[darren.naish@port.ac.uk]

In my last email on the Purbeck papers in _Cretaceous 
Research_ 23 (2002) I wondered: Have the other long-
awaited papers on Purbeck dinosaurs appeared in the same 
issue? Recall that the papers we're waiting for here are 
Barrett on _Echinodon_, Milner on _Nuthetes_ and 
(possibly) Norman on _'Iguanodon' hoggi_. Last night I had 
a closer look at the granicone paper (Barrett et al. 2002) and 
have an answer to this question: No.

Both _Nuthetes_ and _Echinodon_ are mentioned in 
passing in the paper and for both the respective papers are 
cited as in press. Even better, they are listed in the 
references as...

Milner, A. C. (in press). Theropod dinosaurs of the Purbeck 
Limestone, southern England. In Batten, D. J. & Milner, A. 
R. (eds) _Life and environment in Purbeck times, Special 
Papers in Palaeontology_ 68.

Norman, D. B. & Barrett, P. M. (in press). Ornithischian 
dinosaurs from the basal Cretaceous (Berriasian) of 
England. In Batten, D. J. & Milner, A. R. (eds) _Life and 
environment in Purbeck times, Special Papers in 
Palaeontology_ 68.

There is also...

Milner, A. C. (in press). The turtles of the Purbeck 
Limestone Group, southern England. In Batten, D. J. & 
Milner, A. R. (eds) _Life and environment in Purbeck 
times, Special Papers in Palaeontology_ 68.

Salisbury, S. W. (in press). Crocodilians from the Lower 
Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Limestone Group of 
Dorset, southern England. In Batten, D. J. & Milner, A. R. 
(eds) _Life and environment in Purbeck times, Special 
Papers in Palaeontology_ 68.

The volume should appear fairly soonish and will clearly be 
one to look out for.
