Gunn, John. On the presence of the Forest-Bed Series at Kessing- 



land and Pakefield, in Sufiblk, and its position beneath the Chilles- 



ford Clay. Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxii. pp. 123-128 ; woodcut 



section. 



The beds described are in ascending order : — Elephant-bed and blue 



clay (estuarine) soil of the Forest-bed ; Forest-bed, with roots of trees ; 



" Rootlet-bed" and Unio-hed (freshwater) ; Fluvio-marine bed — Norwich 



Crag ; Chillesford Clay and Sand (Marine) ; Pebbly Bed (or Westleton 



Sands) and Middle Drift ; Upper Boulder-clay. The rootlet-bed has been 



regarded as the Forest-bed ; but the author thinks the supposed rootlets 



only represent brushwood, which succeeded the true forest. W. T.
