IV.—The Faunas of the Ffynnon Beuno Caves, and of the Norfolk Forest Bed
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
From Mr. Newton's letter in the February Number of the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE, I am inclined to think that he has somewhat misunderstood my meaning where I referred to the fauna of the Norfolk Forest Bedinmy paper in the December Number. Prof. Hughes had stated in his paper that the bones from the caverns “belong to the newer group of animals found elsewhere in undoubtedly Post-Glæial river deposits.” As Mr. Newton admits “that most of these species have been found in the Pre-Glacial Forest Bed of Norfolk, and it is probable that others of them will yet be found,” it is clear that I was correct in my contention that “a very large proportion of the animals occur in the Norfolk Forest Bed.”
