528 Miscellaneous—The Ipswich Human Skeleton. 
‘“Mr. J. Reid Moir writes:—It will no doubt be remembered 
that at the time of the discovery in 1911 of a human skeleton in 
a sand pit in the occupation of Messrs. A. Bolton and Co., Ltd. (late 
Bolton and Laughlin) of Henley Road, Ipswich, it was held by some 
geologists and by myself that the remains occurred beneath an 
undisturbed stratum of weathered chalky boulder clay. Since this 
discovery I have been enabled to investigate extensively the small 
valley adjoining the sand pit in which the human skeleton was found, 
and to conduct excavations in the immediate vicinity of the spot 
where the bones occurred. 
‘These investigations have shown that at about the level at which 
the skeleton rested the scanty remains of a ‘floor’ are present, and 
that the few associated flint implements appear to be the same as 
others found on an old occupation-level in the adjacent valley. This 
occupation-level is in all probability referable to the early Aurignac 
period, and it appears that the person whose remains were discovered 
was buried in this old land surface. The material which has since 
covered the ancient ‘floor’ may be regarded asa sludge, formed largely 
of re-made boulder clay, and that its deposition was probably 
associated with a period of low temperature occurring in post-chalky 
boulder clay times. 
‘Tt appears, then, that the human skeleton found is referable to 
a late Paleolithic epoch, and cannot claim a pre-chalky boulder clay 
antiquity. I wish to take this opportunity to state that those who 
opposed my contention as to the great age of these remains were in 
the right, while the views held by me regarding them have been 
shown to be erroneous.”

Borganfjord read Borgarfjord; 1. 11, for Bernfjord read Berufjord; p. 469, 
1. 8, for ice-scratched boulder read ice-scratched liparite boulder. 
ERRATA in Mr. P. G. H. Boswell’s abstract, October, pp. 466-7: §1,1. 5, for 
rise above 0°5 per cent read rise above 0°02 per cent, and (two lines lower) for 
0°02 per cent read 0°5 per cent. § 3: the opening paragraph should read : 
‘*as simple as possible ; the sand ought to contain only quartz.’’ In the next 
paragraph the fourth sentence should read: ‘‘ The important supplies of glass- 
sands occurring in Western Europe are all associated with planty material, 
Lippe sand occurring with rafts of braunkohle.’’ For the locality Hohenboka 
read Hohenbocka, and for Berrythorpe read Burythorpe.
