NOTES ON ESSEX GEOLOGY.

two papers “ On the Pliocene Deposits,” and on the “ Pleistocene 
Period of the Eastern Counties.” He re-states his classification 
of the Red Crag (1900, 1902), criticizing Prestwich’s conclusions. 
Essex is refeired to on pp. 89-91, 94-96. The second paper 
does not specifically refer to the county. 
I take some credit to myself in regard to this great memorial 
volume, which was finished in 1910 ; firstly because I successfully 
avoided writing any contribution thereto, and secondly because 
I suggested and fought hard for the simple title Geology in the 
Field, under which it appears. 
H. B. Woodward’s Geology of the London District is one of 
the cheapest geologic works, and it certainly cannot be called 
by the other adjective usually associated with cheap; 150 
large 8vo. pages and a coloured map are offered for one shilling. 
The Memoir is descriptive of the four sheets of the new Geological 
Survey Map of the London District (published in 1904) and 
gives us an account of the tract, brought up to the latest knowledge 
from the underground geology and the Chalk up to the Recent 
beds, with information on water-supply and other economic 
questions. With this and the work by the same author noticed 
under 1906 in their possession most people will be able to know 
as much about the geology of an area of something over 800 square 
miles (including the south-western corner of Essex) as they are 
likely to want. 
1910 . 
M. A. C. Hinton, in a paper on “ British Fossil Voles, etc.,” 13 
had to revise his determination of a Vole from Grays. He says : 
—“ The result of my study of the Grays fossils is that I am 
now unable to refer any of the voles from this locality to recent 
species.” He notices five forms. 
1911 . 
After 1900 the Geological Society left Essex alone for seven 
years, except for mere casual notices, and then we start again 
with a paragraph by S. H. Warren on a piece of worked wood 
from the freshwater deposit of Clacton. 34 The specimen has 
also been shown to us.
