MEMOIR OF CALEB B. ROHE. 
but also fragments of a tooth and bones of an Elephant ( Elephas 
primigenius ) and a broken tooth of Rhinoceros (R. tichorhinus). 
My father, Dr. S. P. Woodward, examined Pose’s collection in 
1863, and named the species of Mollusca. A revised list of the 
organic remains was afterwards published by Rose, and he then 
recorded all his further observations on the deposits.* He mentions 
that Lyell, in 1839, visited the East Winch brickyard, under his 
guidance; and in 1864 Professor Otto Torell went with him to see 
tiie famous Nar Valley deposit. 
In his early paper Rose rightly regarded the deposit as an 
estuarine mud or alluvium of “ post-diluvian ” age. Comparing this 
with other beds that had been described, he then suggested that, 
“ in imitation of the technical language of Mr. Lyell, the period 
of these deposits may be termed the pascene,” from the Greek 
words signifying all, and recent; all the shells being of recent 
species. The term Pleistocene is now employed for the deposits 
yielding remains of the Mammoth, &c. Rose describes the 
Submarine Eorests off Brancaster and other parts of West 
Norfolk, and recognises that they must be newer than the Forest 
Bed of Cromer. He also gives an account of an “Ancient Beach” 
at Hunstanton, to which much attention has since been given 
by others.! 
Some years later Rose obtained remains of the Reindeer ( Cert; us 
tarandus) from “ beneath a peat-moss in a small moor at East 
Bilney, near East Dereham.” The remains, which consisted of 
a fragment of the skull with the antlers attached, were sent to 
Owen, who figured them, f In his paper of 1843, Rose gives 
a very full account of the strata that form the Bedford Level, and 
he describes the changes effected by man, as well as those due to 
natural causes. Of other geological papers a brief mention only 
need be made. 
In 1836 Rose went to London, met Owen and Sowerby, and 
paid a visit to the Museum of the Geological Society. In 1837 
he spent some time at Cromer, whither he went in search of rest. 
Rose was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society of
