remains and land and freshwater shells, including the southern 

 Helix fruticum and Hydvohia mavginata, both now extinct in Britain. 

 At Hoxne, on the other hand, overlying the Boulder Clay we find an 

 interesting flora, including the dwarf arctic willows, Salix poIaris and 

 Salix myrsinites and the dwarf birch Betula nana. Numerous palaeo- 

 lithic implements have been obtained from the same pil , where they 

 were discovered nearly a hundred years since by John Frere. It is 

 to be hoped that the Ipswich meeting will produce some communi- 

 cation on the relations of the various isolated deposits later than the 

 Boulder Clay, for this is a subject that ought more easily to be worked 

 out in Suffolk than in any other county.
