On the evidence of the fossils the muddy silts and sands of the 
lower part of these wells were referred to the Fluvio-marine Crag 
by S. V. Wood, who determined 50 species of mollusca. The 
assemblage corresponds with that of Aldeby, but is perhaps not 
quite so arctic. Similar shelly sands have been reached in several 
other wells in the neighbourhood of Beccles. 
West of Beccles the surface of the Chalk seems to keep at the 
same level for some distance, for at Geldeston about two miles 
from Beccles white clay ” (perhaps Chalk) was reached at about 
60 feet beneath the river-level in an old well. The greater part 
of the beds are described as bluish sand, but I could not learn of 
any shells being found. 
More recently (1888) Messrs. Isler & Co. have sunk a well 
at Broome Place, about two miles north-north-east of Bungay, 
which showed the following section :— 
Eed coarse loamy sand, full of pieces of friable 
shells ------ 
Loamy sand, no shells, occasional veins of in-~l 
durated loam in red sand. 
White sand mixed with red. From 82 to 85 feet 
very shelly.
