OF THE UPHALL BRICKYARD, ILFORD. 211 



I have obtained two more examples of Helix hortensis, and 

 additional granules oi Anon atev. Also several specimens of the 

 Helicella, provisionally referred to in the previous paper (op. cit.) 

 as a variety of H. itala. It may be described as combining ihe 

 spire oi H. virgata (Da Costa) with the umbilicus of H. itala. 



The list of mollusca from the Uphall Brickyard is now so 

 exhaustive that there only remain eleven more^ to complete the 

 list from the Ilford district. One of these, however, Pisidium 

 astavtoides (Sandb.), is totally extinct : it is a common form in 

 the Pleistocene deposits of the Thames Basin, and further 

 research would undoubtedly add it to the Uphall beds. 



On one occasion I found a couple of the pharyngeal teeth of 

 a fish, together with the humerus and molar of a small vole, 

 which I submitted to Mr. E. T. Newton, F.R.S., who has 

 kindly identiiied them as probably belonging to Levciscus vutilus 

 (roach) and Microtus agrestis respectively. They are both new 

 records. A couple of small incisors in my collection may 

 possibly belong to the last-mentioned, I have also obtained 

 many more mammalian remains, chiefly Rhinoceros leptovkinns. 

 Bos primigeniiis, and Equiis caballns. 



Annexed is a complete list of the vertebrata obtained from 

 the Uphall Brickyard, copied, with additions, from Davies' 

 Catalogue.'' Mr. Hinton (op. cit.) also records the albatross 

 (Dtomedia exnlans, Linn.) on the strength of an ulna in the 

 Museum of Practical Geology, but I cannot agree with him in 

 considering it to come from these beds. I have also omitted 

 Ovis, which it should be remarked is given with a query. 



It is curious that previous writers should have failed to note 

 the occurrence of Palaeolithic Implements in the Uphall series. 

 Indeed, until recently, when the above-mentioned author 

 recorded (op. cit.) two from the Cauliflower Pit, they were 

 unknown from the Ilford brickearth., I found several in situ in 

 the upper part of tlie gravel, and clearly in association with tlie 

 extinct mollusca. They consist of flakes, notched on the basal 

 side, so as to produce a saw-like edge, and are not derived, being 

 quite fresn and but little worn. I also obtained many waste 

 flakes — all more or less rolled — from the overlying bed of sand.
