I.—Note on Some Recent Additions to the Vertebrate Fauna of the Norfolk “Pre-Glacial Forest-Bed”

Extract

Since the publication of my last notes on the Vertehrata of the Norfolk “Forest-Bed” in this Magazine, several new forms have been identified, and we are now under obligation to Mr. W. Barker and Mr. A. Savin, whose diligent search in these beds has brought to light four species not hitherto recorded; three of them are bones of Birds, and therefore especially interesting, as so few remains of this class have been determined from British Pre-Glacial deposits. I have to thank Prof. Stewart and Dr. Garson for the facilities they have afforded me on this, as on other occasions, when comparing specimens in the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons; and for similar assistance at the British Museum I am indebted to Mr. R. Bowdler Sharpe and Mr. Oldfield Thomas.
