For the purposes of a memoir, about to be published by H.M. Geological Survey of England, on the Geology of parts of Norfolk, I have been for some time past engaged in a critical examination and revision of such lists of the so-called “Pre-Glacial Forest Bed” Vertebrata, as have appeared from time to time in various publications. And it is intended to publish the results of this work in detail, when figures of the more important specimens will be given, together with particulars of the reasons for the alterations and additions which it is deemed necessary to make. It seemed desirable, however, as some time must elapse before the entire work can be accomplished, to publish, as occasion serves, short notes of some of the changes about to be made; and it is hoped that these notes will not be without interest to the readers of this Magazine.
2 As it is most desirable in such work as this that all available material should be examined, the writer would esteem it a favour if any one, possessing specimens of Vertebrata from the “Forest Bed,” or knowing of the existence of such specimens in any private collections, would communicate with him at the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street, S. W.
