PROCEEDINGS  OF  THE  GEOLOGICAL  SOCIETY.  [Aug.  1 893, 
The  List  of  Donations  to  the  Library  was  read. 
With  reference  to  certain  specimens  on  the  table  exhibited  by 
himself,  and  collected  by  Mr.  Ferguson  in  the  interior  of  the  Gold 
Coast  Colony,  Prof.  Judd  said  : — These  specimens,  which  are  clearly 
referable  to  ArthropJiycus ,  Hall  ( Harlania ,  Gopp.),  have  been  found 
by  Mr.  Ferguson  in  the  interior  of  the  Gold  Coast  Colony.  While 
agreeing  in  all  their  general  characters  with  specimens  of  the  same 
forms  so  abundant  in  the  older  Palaeozoic  of  North  America  and 
other  regions,  they  present  some  distinctive  features.  Great  diver¬ 
sity  of  opinion  exists  as  to  whether  these  curious  forms  should  be 
referred  to  seaweeds,  or  to  the  burrows  or  tracks  formed  by  some  new 
marine  organism.  While  the  specimens  now  exhibited  present  no 
features  which  would  help  to  solve  this  curious  problem,  they  are 
of  very  great  interest  as  coming  from  an  altogether  unexplored 
district,  and  being  the  only  organic  structures  hitherto  found  in  that 
district. 
In  referring  to  the  following  specimens — viz. :  Specimen  of 
Cervus  SedgwicJcii  (?),  Falc.,  Norwich  Crag,  Bramerton,  exhibited 
by  B.  W.  Hinton,  Esq.  ;  Tooth  of  Mammoth  (ElepJias  primigenius), 
from  Witton,  near  Bacton,  Norfolk,  and  a  Tooth  of  Elephas  antiquus , 
both  showing  glacial  striae,  exhibited  by  James  Beeve,  Esq. ; 
Boulder  of  Lower  Carboniferous  Sandstone  from  Hartford  Bridges, 
near  Norwich,  exhibited  by  G.  W.  Page,  Esq., — Mr.  H.  B.  Wood¬ 
ward  drew  particular  attention  to  the  glaciated  tooth  of  Mammoth 
that  had  been  obtained  many  years  ago  by  Mr.  John  Gunn,  from 
Witton,  near  Bacton,  in  Norfolk.  He  considered  that  the  specimen 
was  older  than  the  Chalky  Boulder  Clay,  and  had  been  glaciated  by 
the  agent  which  brought  that  material.  He  exhibited  it,  through 
the  kindness  of  Mr.  James  Beeve,  Curator  of  the  Norwich  Museum, 
because  it  had  lately  been  referred  to  by  Sir  Henry  Howorth,  and 
because  hitherto  no  definite  remains  of  the  Mammoth  had  been 
found  in  East  Anglia,  either  above  or  below  a  mass  of  the  Chalky 
Boulder  Clay. 
Beferring  to  a  portion  of  a  Deer's  Antler,  identified  by  Mr.  E.  T. 
Newton  as  Cervus  SedgwicJcii  (?),  Falc.,  Mr.  Woodward  said  it  had 
been  found  in  the  Norwich  Crag  at  Bramerton  by  Mr.  B.  W. 
Hinton,  during  a  recent  excursion  of  the  Geologists’  Association, 
and  that  the  species  had  not  been  recorded  from  strata  older  than 
the  Cromer  Forest  Bed.
