Assemblages of microplankton from the Kellaways Rock and Oxford Clay of Yorkshire are described. They consist dominantly of hystrichospheres, including new species of Cymatiosphaera and of Canno-sphaeropsis. Dinoflagellates are also prominent, with Gonyaulax jurassica Deflandre most abundant: two new species of Gonyaulax are described. Organisms incertae sedis, probably microplankton, are present: three new genera, Stephanelytron, Antrosphaera, and Netrelytron, and a new species of Wanaea are described. The character and stratigraphic significance of the assemblages are discussed.
