IV.—Notes on the Vertebrata of the Pre-Glacial Forest Bed Series of the East of England

Extract

The occurrence of Fish-remains among the “Forest Bed” Vertebrata attracted the attention of some of the earlier writers on Norfolk Geology; but it is only within the last few years that any of these fish have been specifically determined. Mr. A. Bell in the Proceed, of the Geol. Assoc. 1871, included the Pike and Perch in his list of “Forest Bed” Vertebrata, and the same two species are given by Mr. A. Savin in the Proceed, of the Norwich Geol. Soc. for 1878, p. 27. The fish mentioned by Sir C. Lyell from Mundesley (Lond. and Edinb. Phil. Mag. ser. 3, vol. xvi. p. 345, 1840) were from the Post-Glacial River Bed.
