THE GLACIAL DEPOSITS OF NORFOLK AND

Introductory. 
In a paper written in 1908 for the Jubilee Volume of the 
Geologists’ Association,* I gave a summary of the results 
of some investigations into the glacial history of the East 
of England, especially of Norfolk and Suffolk, which have 
occupied most of my leisure during the last fifty years. I have 
been asked to give also, in the Transactions of this Society, 
a short resume of my views on the subject, for the benefit 
of those to whom the work named may not be accessible. 
The first part of the present paper up to page 123 is more or less 
a repetition of the one referred to ; the latter part is to a great 
extent new. 
In the year 1864 I met accidentally on Mundesley beach 
Searles V. Wood, Junr., the distinguished geologist who 
may be said to have laid the foundation of the systematic 
study of the glaciology of East Anglia, the son of the equally 
distinguished man of the same name whose Monograph of 
the Crag Mollusca will always remain one of the classics of 
geological literature. 
Although the glacial drifts of this district had been 
previously studied by Lyell, Trimmer, Gunn, and others, 
comparatively little had been ascertained at that time as to 
the distribution or stratigraphy of the various beds of clay, 
sand, and gravel of which they are composed, or of the 
conditions under which they originated. 
The only geological map of the county then in existence 
was that published by Samuel Woodward in 1833, in which,
