At p. 142 he adds:—Ulmus Montana. Sm. Blashenwell, 
Dorset ; Dursley, Gloucester (in calcareous tufa of doubtful age) = 
Digby Fenn (Elm-wood recorded by Skertchly from a depth of 
ro feet.) 
Interglacial :—Grey’s Essex (badly preserved leaves) Pre- 
glacial (Cromer Forest-bed), Happesburg, Norfolk. 
“In each case the leaves are small and more like U/mus 
Montana than U/mus Campestris. The difference in the leaves 
is very slight and I have not been able to obtain the more 
characteristic fruit.” 
The leaves of OUlmus Montana are larger than those of 
Ulmus Campestris, and Mr. Reid informs me that the passage 
quoted above should read—“ The leaves are small but more like 
Ulmus Montana than Ulmus Campestris in outline (rounded 
ovate).” 
These statements will sufficiently answer Mr. Murray’s question 
“Ts the Elm found in submarine forests ? ” 
We must next consider whether remains of Elm timber can be 
found in the oldest habitations of which we possess any relic. 
Perhaps the oldest are those in the Lake Village near 
Glastonbury, unearthed by Mr. Bulleid, and which were visited 
by this Club in September, 1892. (1) 
Mr. Bulleid informs us that a great quantity of timber was used 
for the foundations of the habitations, their walls, the Palisade, 
with which the village was surrounded and defended, and in the 
making of the ways through the marshy ground to the village. 
Also in the wood carvings, &c., found therein. 
Mr. Bulleid sent specimens of the wood found to Mr. J. G. 
Baker, F.R.S., of Kew, who pronounced them to be oak, alder, 
birch and hazel. No Elm was found. 
The date of the village was from 200 to 300 years B.C. down to. 
the Roman occupation of England in the first century.
