160 HAZZLEDINE WARREN ! STUDY OF PRE-HISTORY IN ESSEX. 
Tilbury, visit to site (Proc., iv., 1884, p. xcviii.) Brief notice 
.[20]. 114 
Peat Beds, with tree trunks, of the Thames : early accounts of 
(E.N., xiii., 1903, p. 136). 115 
Royal Albert Docks (T. V. Holmes, Proc., iv., 1885, pp. 
clvi.-clvii. ; E.N. vi., 1892, p. 143). At Tilbury, it was 
only the lowest peat bed which was composed of drifted 
vegetable debris. Here all the peat beds are drifted, 
and the bedding is more irregular than at Tilbury. 116 
Royal Albert Docks, extension, visit to (E.N., xviii., 1915, 
pp. 10-11). Alluvium with peat beds composed of drifted 
vegetable remains. The fact is not mentioned in the 
above report, but I have found numerous flint flakes with 
pottery and hearth-sites, on the old land surface beneath 
the lowest peat [20, 122, 123]. 117 
Romano-British Surface, Thames Alluvium ( E.N., xii., 1902, 
pp. 163-169). Spurred has shown that this occurs on the 
top of the uppermost peat, under the Marsh Clay, and 8 
to 9 feet below the surface of the marsh, which stands at 
5 feet 6 inches O.D. [122, 137, 138, 144]. 118 
Benfleet (F. C. J. Spurrell, E.N., iv., 1890, pp. 152-153). 
Burnt ships, probably of the fleet of Hsesten, A.D. 894, 
buried in Alluvium [137]. 119 
Walton-on-Naze (H. Laver, E.N., ii., 1888, p. 187). Polished 
stone axe, arrow-heads, etc., found at Stone Point. [These 
came (see 121-123) from the surface under the peat.] 120 
East Essex (S. H. Warren, E.N., xvi., 1909,pp. 46-51,7 plates). 
Flakes, scrapers, axe-heads, arrow-heads, a very beautiful 
curved knife, pottery, etc., found on the buried surface 
beneath the submerged peat of the marshes. These belong 
to the dawn of the Bronze Age. Also an earlier series, 
probably true Neolithic, found in an underlying hill-wash 
[177, 258]. ' 121 
Hullbridge (F. W. Reader, E.N., xvi., 1911, pp. 249-264, 5 
plates and 10 figs.). Describes remains from a similar site 
to the above, and on the same stratigraphical horizon, 
discovered by H. Rand, in the estuary of the Crouch (H. 
Rand, E.N., xvii., 1912, p. 124, brief note of exhibit, pre¬ 
sented to E.F.C. Museum). 122 
Sub-Peat Prehistoric “ Floor,” correlation of (S. H. Warren, 
E.N ., xvi., 1911, pp. 265-282). A general review of the 
correlation of the above “ floor ” [117, 120-2, 177] with 
similar beds round the E., S., and W. coasts of England. 123 
Dogger Bank (H. Whitehead and H. H. Goodchild, E.N., 
xvi., 1909, pp. 51-60, map and 1 fig.). Describes the
