(Hicks, 'On the Discovery of Mammoth and other 

 Remains in Endsleigh Street . . . .' Quart. Journ. Geol. 

 Soc, Vol. XLVIII., pp. 453-468. 1892.) 



A clayey loam containing bones of Mammoth and 

 numerous seeds, fills the lower part of a hollow eroded 

 in the London Clay. From its position at the base of 

 the Drift, and its resemblance to other deposits in the 

 neighbourhood of London, it is most probably Interglacial, 

 though newer than the boulder-clay of Middlesex.

Geranium.
