DR. HENRY WOODWARD ON EAST ANGLIAN GEOLOGY. 
483 
Museum of the Mammalia obtained by him from that deposit 
testifies to his earnest and untiring work. 
He wrote a paper, read before the Geological Society of London 
in 1870, on the position of the Forest- Bed and the Chillesford 
Clay in Norfolk and Suffolk, and on the real position of the Forest- 
Bed ; and a second paper on the Forest-Bed at Kessingland and 
Pakefield in 1876. After his death a memoir on the same subject 
was published, partly written by him, and edited by Horace B. 
Woodward, F. Ii.S., with descriptions of the fossils by E. T. Newton, 
F. R.S., and several plates. He was President of the Norwich 
Geological Society for fourteen years, viz., from its foundation to 
1878, and was the author of a well-known article on the Geology 
of the district in White’s ‘ History of Norfolk.’ 
The Geological Survey in the Eastern Counties has been repre- 
sented by Mil William Whitaker, B.A., F.R.S., F.G.S., who has 
worked for many years upon the geology of the Chalk and the Lower 
Tertiaries, the Red Chalk of Hunstanton, on Subaerial Denudation, 
and on that most important question, water supply. He was 
engaged for about eight years on the geology of the Eastern Counties, 
and will be remembered no doubt by many.* 
No record of the Crag formation would be complete without 
a reference to Edward Ciiarleswortii (born 13th September, 1813, 
died 28th July, 1393). He was an F.G.S. from 1835, and was at 
one time employed in the British Museum, and as the editor of 
‘Loudon’s Magazine of Natural History.’ He was also Honorary 
Curator of the Ipswich Museum, where some of his early collections 
of Crag fossils are still preserved. After his return from a trip to 
South America in 1840, he gave up other work and devoted himself 
to collecting in the Eocene Tertiaries, and in the Crag. He also 
wrote a paper on the Sperm-whale (Phyaeter) from the Red Crag of 
Felixstowe. In 1844 he was appointed to succeed Professor Phillips 
as Curator of the York Museum, -where he continued till 1858, 
when he resigned and returned to London. He spent much time 
collecting fossils, and never to the end lost his love for the Crag 
formation. 
* The geological survey of Norfolk and part of Suffolk was carried on by 
Mr. Horace B. AVoodward, F.R.S., Mr. Clfmbnt Reid, F.R.S., Mr. J. 
II. Blake, F.G.S., and others.
