Southampton Docks, 



(Shore and Elwes, ' The New Dock Excavation at 

 Southampton,' Proc. Hants Field Club for 1889, pp. 43-56.) 



A bed of peat and shell-marl beneath the sea-level 

 yields Neolithic implements, and is said to contain Oak, 

 Beech, Hazel, Birch, and Pine, besides decomposed remains 

 of Scirpus laaistris, Carex, Myrica Gale, heaths, Pteris 

 aquiiina. A small sample given me by Mr. Whitaker 

 contained seeds of: — 



Rubus Idaeus. Corylus Avellana. 



Sambucus nigra. Scirpus maritimus (?). 



SOUTHELMHAM, SUFFOLK. 



(Candler, ' Observations on some Undescribed Lacus- 

 trine Deposits at Saint Cross, South Elmham, in Suffolk,' 

 Quart. Journ. Geol Soc, Vol. XLV., pp. 504-510. 1889.) 



The plant- bearing stratum yields bones of Elephant, 

 and probably agrees with the Interglacial beds D and E at 

 Hoxne. It overlies the Boulder Clay, but is not overlain 

 by any newer deposit. 



Thalictrum flavum. . Ceratophyllum demersum. 



Ranunculus aquatilis. Stratiotes aloides. 



sceleratus. Alisma Plantago. 



- Flammula. Potamogeton heterophyllus. 



Crataegus Oxyacantha. perfoliatus. 



Hippuris vulgaris. crispus. 



Myriophyllum spicatum. obtusifolius. 



Hydrocotyle vulgaris. trichoides. 



QEnanthe Phellandrium. Zannichellia palustris. 



Cnicus palustris (.?). Scirpus pauciflorus. 



Taraxacum officinale. — caespitosus. 



Menyanthes trifoliata. fluitans. 



Lycopus europaeus. lacustris. 



Rumex maritimus. Carex riparia. 



Alnus glutinosa. rostrata.
