MR. CLEMENT REID ON EAST NORFOLK GEOLOGY. 
295 
The next Well to be described is one sunk in 1898, for the 
supply of North Walsham, and this also was completely successful. 
An excellent record of this Well was kept by Messrs. Tilley and 
Sons, and I have also to thank the engineer, Mr. J. C. Mellis, for 
full particulars, and for sending me a large box of the shelly Crag. 
This yielded so large a series of fossils as to leave no doubt as to 
its belonging to the Weybourn Crag, which here also extends 
down to the Chalk. The section of the boring is as follows : —
