I.—On the Mollusca of the Pleistocene Gravels in the Neighbourhood of Cambridge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
The site of Barnwell Abbey has long been excavated for gravel. The pits have been easily accessible to collectors, and have for many years yielded large numbers of Mammalian bones, Mollusca, and a few plant-remains.
These gravels were noticed by the Rev. P. B. Brodie and Prof Sedgwick in 1838. Prof. Seeley gave a sketch of them in the Q. J. G. S. 1866, in which there was a list of the land and freshwater shells drawn up by Mr. Dewick. They were described by Mr. Jukes-Browne in his essay on the Post-Tertiary deposits of Cambridgeshire, 1878, and in the Memoir of the Geological Survey.
