Extract

This communication brings up to date the record of losses on the _L Suffolk coast, and continues the report presented at the Ipswich Meeting, 1895, of which details were published in the Geological Magazine for January, 1896. Since that time scarcely a year has passed without the winter gales and high tides doing mischief at one or more points of the coast embraced within the above-mentioned limits; but whilst Lowestoft and Pakefield, Covehithe and Baston have all suffered very considerably, the cliffs at Dunwich remained until quite recently almost unaffected.
