this new map, Mr. Arnyot bore personal testimony on the occasion 
of its exhibition in London." 
In 1825 he had already nearly completed two MS. works, one 
entitled ‘ Sketch of the Norwich Crag Deposit, with a Descriptive 
Catalogue of its Fossils,’ a quarto volume containing twenty plates 
with outline figures of the species; the other, entitled ‘Remarks 
on the Geology of the County of Norfolk,’ was also bound up in 
quarto, and this was illustrated with coloured figures of the fossils, 
and with coloured sections of the strata. Both works were com- 
menced and so far carried out on a plan that would have rendered 
their publication far too expensive. The projected ‘ Geology of 
Norfolk ’ was to comprise twenty-four plates, which when com- 
pleted would contain nearly 1000 figures; he had already drawn 
about three hundred, and others were subsequently added : these 
remain as he left them. The substance of his observations, and 
figures of many species were, however, published in his ‘ Geology 
of Norfolk,’ in 1833, to which allusion will presently be made. 
But I should not omit to say a word in praise of the very careful 
and artistic figures of the fossils, which, being drawn by one 
entirely self-educated, bespeak very considerable native talent. 
In 182G ho was proposed by Mr. Simon Wilkin, f.l.s., as a 
member of the Committee of the Norfolk and Norwich Museum 
(founded in 1824), an office which he held at intervals during 
the subsequent years of his life. 
On June 1st, 1827, he exhibited before the Society of Anti- 
quaries some antiquities found in the parish of Coltishall, and 
which led him to conjecture that the spot vdience they were 
obtained, had been a landing-place to the Romans navigating the 
Bure, in their way to Brampton or Burgh-by-Aylsham.t 
Later on in the same year ho was engaged with Mr. W. C. 
Ewing in exploring the barrows on Eaton Heath. He states, 
“ They are four in number, and are arranged nearly in a straight 
* The Maps were afterwards published, by the kindness of Mr. Hudson 
Gurney, in an Appendix to The History and Antiquities of N orwich Castle. 
“ They were the first-fruits of his studies, and the means of introducing 
him to the notice of those accomplished and distinguished cultivators of 
archseological science, who subsequently afforded him such generous en- 
couragement.” Sec Preface to that Appendix, p. 45.
