146 MUNDESLEY. [i860. 



beds above it. I worked it out in some detail when I was there, 

 with Mr [the Eev. John] Gunn, and shall be happy to give 

 you any particulars of my section you may require. Seeing its 

 close analogy to Hoxne, I set off to Mundesley again last August, 

 and reached Mr Gunn's. I there, however, heard of a section at 

 Yarmouth which so much interested me and Mr Gunn that we 

 both started for Yarmouth the following morning, leaving Mun- 

 desley for a future period. I much wished to examine the bed 

 of gravel, A, under the peaty bed, as there, I think, there might 

 be a possibility of flint- implements occurring. I directed Mr 

 Gunn's attention to this point, and hope he may some day have 

 a successful search. You might also find flints in your bed B, 

 but it would be in A that I should particularly look for them. 

 The ElepJias primigenius has not been found here, but I believe 

 it to be its position. The ElepJias teeth at Amiens occur in- 

 discriminately throughout the white gravel just as the flints 

 do, but they are more numerous in the lower part of it. The 

 place of one specimen was shown me some feet above the 

 level of Mr Flower's flint. I wrote two letters to the ' Athenaeum ' 

 in reply to Prof. Henslow's first letter, but do not think it neces- 

 sary to write in reply to his letter in the last No. of the 

 'Athenaeum.' I have not drawn up my last notes on Hoxne, 

 but you will find the main points in the ' Athenaeum.' I pur- 

 pose sending them to the Eoyal Society. I hope, however, to 

 see you to-morrow, and I am, ever truly yours,

MY DEAR SIR CHARLES, My collection from Mundesley is 

 very small. Your list I found so good that I did not set to work 

 to collect much from the same bed, but went to new ground. 

 I cannot therefore throw any light upon the occurrence there of 

 the Paludina marginata. I am glad you feel some doubts about 

 Grays. I have very strong ones. Hoxne, Mundesley, and 

 Amiens, I should certainly place together, and I believe I men- 

 tioned so in my paper before the Royal Society. Another place 

 I named was Copford, which I have not had an opportunity of 

 revisiting, and now poor old John Brown, who knew every inch 

 of that ground, is dead.
