Extract

In an interesting paper lately published my friend Mr. R. B. Newton has expressed the opinion that the Coralline Crag should be grouped with the Diestien and Anversien of Belgium as Upper Miocene, the fauna of the Suffolk boxstones being regarded by him as Middle Miocene. The recent researches of Mr. Alfred Bell have led me to agree with Mr. Newton that the latter is pre-Pliocene, but I regret I cannot accept his view as to the age of the Coralline Crag, which I consider to be more nearly related to the Waltonian horizon of the Red Crag than to the Belgian Miocene.
