THE excursion to East Anglia in the week preceding the Centenary Meeting of the British Association will include visits to four of the sections of the Waltonian Red Crag at present accessible, and the occasion seems appropriate for the publication of studies which were interrupted in the year 1885 by my removal to Lancashire and were not resumed until the year 1930, after a lapse of forty-five years.
page 405 note 1 I adopt the name “Waltonian” for this sub-division of the Red Crag not only in deference to the general usage, but also because Robert Bell, in a communication to the Geological Magazine, 1887, 554, only six weeks before his death, proposed a classification of the Red Crag into three main divisions—Waltonian, Suttonian, and Butleyan. Harmer apparently overlooked this paper. I agree that “Newbournian” is to be preferred to “Suttonian”: there are few English countries that do not boast a Sutton.

page 407 note 1 When I visited Searles V. Wood, jun., in September, 1884, a few weeks before his death, he drew in my notebook a section of the Walton cliff with an enumeration of the beds, but it represented a much more generalized aspect of the cliffs.
