FOSSIL CORALS. 97 



to a living British species. It is found in great 

 abundance at times, and occurs also in the Red Crag, 

 in the pits at Foxhall and Bentley, near Ipswich ; as 

 well as at Felixstowe, Kirton, Bucklesham, Waldring- 

 field, and other places in the neighbourhood of the 

 same town, where it may be found in company with 

 another common coral, Balanophyllia calycuhis. All 

 of the above places are highly fossiliferous, and most 

 of them are very quaint and quietly picturesque. 

 Students in and near London could not select better 

 localities for geological rambles, and it will only 

 remain for them to stow away the abundance of fossils 

 they meet with; for Eastern Suffolk is little more 

 than a Pliocene sea-bed !
