382 MR. CLEMENT REID ON PARADOXOCARBUS CARINATUS. 
Charles, fourth Earl (born 1772, died 1S49), the owner of Elveden, 
from whom it was purchased by the late Mr. Newton. The Duck 
shooting feat is referred to at p. 17G, vol. 3 of the ‘Birds of 
Norfolk,’ on the authority of the late Mr. Birch, as communicated 
to Sir Edward Newton ; Lord Albemarle’s account being that of 
a contemporary may doubtless be taken as the more correct where 
the two differ. The use of the word “Vewer” for Wigeon is 
interesting. The Lord Kous of the Rendlesham memorandum was 
subsequently tire second Earl of Stradbroke, who was born in 1794, 
and died in 1886. 
VI. 
ON PARADOXOGARPUS GARIN AT US, NEHRING, AN 
EXTINCT FOSSIL PLANT FROM THE 
CROMER FOREST-BED. 
By Clement Reid, F.L.S., F.G.S. 
Read 31st January, 1S03. 
About sixteen years ago, while engaged on the examination of the 
Geology of the Norfolk Coast for the Geological Survey, I came 
across a number of specimens of a peculiar bolster-shaped fruit. 
The first examples of these fruit were discovered at Beeston, near 
Cromer ; subsequently a few more were found at Sidestrand ; and 
later on Mr. J. Id. Blake collected abundance of the same species 
at Corton and Pakefield, near Lowestoft. All these specimens 
were found in peaty lacustrine deposits belonging to the Cromer 
Forest-bed. It seemed at first as if this singular fruit were 
characteristic of, and entirely confined to our newer Pliocene strata ; 
but in 18S9 I discovered a single specimen in the Pleistocene 
lacustrine deposit of Saint Cross, South Elmham, in Suffolk, so 
well described by Mr. Charles Candler.* As this deposit lies in 
a hollow in the Chalky Boulder Clay, and is apparently of the 
same age as the similar mass at lloxne, it seems probable that the 
plant survived in Britain down to the Palaeolithic period.
