Ostracoda from the Upper Gault (late Albian, Lower Cretaceous) and Cambridge Greensand (early Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous) near Cambridge and Mildenhall, eastern England, are discussed. One genus (Phthanoloxoconcha) and one species (Patellacythere bicostata) are new. An age of late Callihoplites auritus-Mortoniceras rostratum subzones for the highest part of the Gault and early to mid Neostlingoceras carcitanense subzone for the Cambridge Greensand is indicated. There is some evidence, however, that the lower part of the Cambridge Greensand in the Mildenhall No. 6 borehole, Suffolk, may fall within the highest part ofthe Albian.
