GLACIAL DEPOSITS OF BRUNDON 295 



many teachers of geography are now being trained without an adequate 

 knowledge of geology. The Committee greatly regret that the close rela- 

 tionship between these two subjects is not more generally acknowledged. 



As regards school courses in geography, the Committee recommend that 

 the physical side of geography should be well taught in the First School 

 Certificate classes ; the correlation of this teaching with the geological part 

 of a general science course should be of great value. In the Higher School 

 Certificate also, geography should normally be linked with some work in 

 geology. 



In conclusion the Committee wish gratefully to acknowledge the assistance 

 which they have received in the preparation of this report. In reply to 

 inquiries, a considerable amount of information has been supplied by a 

 number of schoolmasters, inspectors, education officers, museum curators 

 and others. 



GLACIAL DEPOSITS OF BRUNDON. 



Report of Committee appointed to investigate the bone-bed in the glacial deposits 

 of Brundon, near Sudbury, Suffolk (Prof. P. G. H. Boswell, O.B.E., 

 F.R.S., Chairman; Mr. Guy Maynard, Secretary; Mr. D. F. W. 

 Baden-Powell, Mr. J. P. T. Burchell, Prof. W. B. R. King, O.B.E., 

 Mr. J. Reid Moir, Mr. K. P. Oakley, Dr. J. D. Solomon, Sir A. 

 Smith Woodward, F.R.S.). 



Examination of the bone-bearing level in the gravels at Brundon Pit, 

 Sudbury, Suffolk, on the south side of the Stour Valley, has been carried 

 out under the supervision of Mr. J. Reid Moir during the past eight months, 

 by permission of Mr. P. H. Jordan, who is conducting commercial excava- 

 tions for gravel on the site. A considerable number of bones and teeth 

 of the larger Pleistocene Mammalia, as well as flint implements closely 

 associated with them, have been recovered. On May 24, 1936, a visit 

 was paid to the pit by some members of the Committee, there being present 

 Profs. P. G. H. Boswell and W. B. R. King, and Messrs. K. P. Oakley, 

 J. Reid Moir, D. F. W. Baden-Powell and G. Maynard. The grant made 

 from the Bernard Hobson Fund in October 1935 has been expended in 

 the employment of a specially instructed workman in clearance of the level 

 at which the bones are found and in transport expenses necessary for the 

 inspection of the work, and it was unanimously agreed, in view of the im- 

 portant character of the site and the finds made, to ask for reappointment 

 and a further grant of £30 to enable the work to be continued. Mr. J. P. T. 

 Burchell was co-opted as a member of the Committee.
