IV.—On the Stratigraphy of the Crag of Suffolk, with especial reference to the Distribution of the Foraminifera

Extract

The successional order of the strata of the Crag of the Eastern Counties, and the grouping and relationship of the several members of this formation, are here described more especially with regard to the Foraminifera obtained from them. These remarks on the distribution of the Microzoa in the Crag are based upon the examination of material collected by myself during the past eight years, with the exception of some from Tattingstone and Gedgrave (zone g) kindly supplied by Professor Prestwich. The whole of this material has been worked over by Mr. Richard Holland and myself; and Mr. Frederick Chapman has given us some aid with the Tattingstone Crag. Whilst assisting lately in the production of Part II of the Monograph of the Foraminifera of the Crag, it has been necessary to re-examine the collections previously made by the late Messrs. S. V. Wood and W. K. Parker, and the work done by them, with Dr. H. B. Brady and Professor T. Rupert Jones; and in view of the desirability of having the latest information in a tangible shape, I have been led to put together some notes on the Crag and the Distribution of its Foraminifera for this Monograph, Part II. An Abstract of my memoir is now offered to the British Association, meeting at Ipswich in the centre of the Crag district.
