482 DR. HENRY WOODWARD ON EAST ANGLIAN GEOLOGY. 
a number of important papers thereon to the Geological Society of 
London, and to other Scientific Societies. 
In February last (when presenting Mr. Harmer with the Murchison 
Medal of the Society), the President (Mr. J. J. H. Teall, F.R.S.) 
said to him : “In speaking of your earlier work, it is impossible to 
separate your name from that of Searles Y. Wood, Jun., who, 
I believe, discovered you on the Cromer Coast, nearly forty years 
ago, when you were trying to solve the riddle of its complicated 
drifts. Wood, who had previously made a Drift Survey of the 
whole of Essex, on the scale of one inch to the mile, soon enlisted 
your services in Norfolk, while he continued his work in Suffolk ; 
and in the course of about four years, you were together able to 
bring before the British Association at Norwich, a summary of the 
results at which you had arrived from the mapping of the Crag and 
Glacial beds. Your map was published by the Palaeontographical 
Society in 1872, with a memoir elaborating many points touched 
upon in your previous work. These original surveys formed an 
excellent basis for your further researches into the structure and 
method of formation of these deposits, and for the labours of all 
who have followed in your footsteps. Freed from the cares of 
business and municipal duties, which occupied much of your time 
in earlier years, your attention has latterly been given to a study 
of the minuter divisions of the Crag series, not only in England, 
but abroad — in Holland, Belgium, etc. ; thereby dealing with the zonal 
succession in the Crag series, and with the distribution of molluscau 
life generally in the Pliocene period, you have enlarged our know- 
ledge of the physical and climatal conditions under which both 
Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits were laid down, and have 
drawn especial attention to the way in which Meteorology can aid 
in the solution of Geological problems.” [Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., 
London, 1902]. 
Another Norfolk worthy must be specially mentioned, viz., 
John Gunn, F.G.S. (born 9th October, 1801, died 28th May, 1890). 
He -was a Norfolk geologist of repute, and for many years held 
the living of Irstead and Barton, but resigned in 1869, and 
devoted his time wholly to geology. His investigation of the 
remarkable Forest-bed on the Norfolk Coast occupied the greater 
part of his long life, and the collection in the Norwich Castle-
