MEMOIR OF CALEB B. ROSE.

pes-pelicani and TurriteUa terebra from Rose’s specimens, for these 
species occur also in the Crag.* 
Rose also forwarded a paper to the ‘ Philosophical Magazine.’ 
This, however, was not accepted, and he feels that he has not 
had “fair play” from the editor, Richard Taylor (a cousin of 
R. C. Taylor). Later on he sent a paper to the * Quarterly Journal 
of Science, Literature, and Art’ (the Journal of the Royal 
Institution), and received a complimentary letter from Professor 
W. T. Brande. His paper, “On the Organic Remains of the 
Diluvium in Norfolk,” was printed, but curiously enough, as Rose 
remarks, a reference in it is by mistake made to a former part 
of the paper that was not published (letter to S. Woodward, 
February 5th, 1829). This former paper dealt with the character 
of the so-called diluvial formations. 
During tho years 1830 to 1833 the first edition of Lyell’s 
‘Principles of Geology’ was published in three volumes; and his 
son remarks: “I well remember, many years ago as it is, the 
exceeding great pleasure which this book gave him.” 
Rose mentions (in a letter to S. Woodward) that driving through 
Sandringham in August, 183-1, he was tempted to enter the hall, 
where a sale of tho property of H. II. Henley f was then going on. 
Although Henley had resided at Sandringham Hall, he was Lord 
of the Manor of Lyme Regis, in Dorset; and a number of Lias 
fossils, as well as other specimens, were being sold at the auction. 
Rose purchased a few fossils, and mentioned that a very fine 
example of the Liassic fish Dapedium politum was sold for eight 
shillings. While in the yard at Sandringham looking at a cast-away 
skin, his son Caleb, who was with him, inquired what it was. 
“The skin of a Boa, my lad,” said Rose. “A Boar, sir!” quoth 
a countryman, “I believe it is something of a Sarpent.” 
Rose had in 1830 sent a list of the localities of his West Norfolk 
fossils to S. Woodward, and later on helped him with his Geological 
Map of Norfolk, by drawing the divisions of the Chalk in the 
western portion of the county. +
