  6, 
  containing 
  abund- 
  

   ance 
  of

  very 
  few 
  organic 
  remains, 
  suggests 
  a 
  period 
  of 
  

   floods

  Discussion. 
  

  

  The 
  Chairman 
  spoke 
  of 
  the 
  interest 
  of 
  these 
  beds 
  in 
  connexion 
  

   with 
  those 
  of 
  Hoxne. 
  Mr. 
  Clement 
  Peid 
  had 
  supplied 
  the 
  material 
  

   for 
  a 
  comparison 
  of 
  the 
  floras 
  from 
  the 
  two 
  localities. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Clement 
  Eeid 
  had 
  little 
  to 
  add 
  to 
  the 
  paper 
  ; 
  he 
  was 
  glad 
  

   to 
  know 
  that 
  a 
  resident 
  had 
  undertaken 
  to 
  work 
  a 
  country 
  which, 
  as 
  

   a 
  rule, 
  was 
  carefully 
  avoided 
  by 
  all 
  geologists. 
  Prom 
  the 
  resem- 
  

   blance 
  to 
  the 
  deposits 
  at 
  Hoxne 
  he 
  had 
  expected 
  an 
  Arctic 
  flora, 
  

   but 
  the 
  plants 
  were 
  such 
  as 
  now 
  live 
  in 
  Norfolk 
  and 
  Suffolk, 
  having 
  

   also 
  a 
  wide 
  1ST. 
  and 
  S. 
  range. 
  This 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  hawthorn 
  

   occurring 
  as 
  fossil 
  in 
  Britain. 
  The 
  lacustrine 
  deposits 
  of 
  Hoxne 
  and 
  

   St. 
  Cross 
  may 
  form 
  a 
  series 
  linking 
  on 
  the 
  glacial 
  beds 
  with 
  those 
  

   of 
  the 
  present 
  day. 
  He 
  agreed 
  with 
  the 
  Author 
  that 
  the 
  lakes 
  

   probably 
  occupied 
  hollows 
  left 
  in 
  the 
  Boulder-clay 
  on 
  the 
  retreat 
  of 
  

   the 
  ice. 
  

  

  Prof. 
  Peestwich 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  important 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  flora, 
  

   and 
  spoke 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Clement 
  Reid's 
  method 
  as 
  having 
  thrown 
  great 
  

   light 
  on 
  the 
  subject 
  within 
  the 
  last 
  few 
  years. 
  Previously 
  little 
  

   was 
  known 
  of 
  the 
  flora 
  of 
  these 
  mammaliferous 
  beds. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Ltdekeee 
  wanted 
  to 
  know 
  how 
  Bos 
  primigenius 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  

   distinguished 
  from 
  Bos 
  taurus 
  by 
  the 
  teeth 
  alone.
