The Pliocene Deposits of the East of England: The Lenham Beds and the Coralline Crag

Abstract

The Pliocene deposits of the East of England have been studied for many years, and by many competent observers, but, unfortunately, no general consensus of opinion has been arrived at, either as to their systematic arrangement, or the conditions under which they originated: the views, for example, of Sir Joseph Prestwich, which have obtained considerable acceptance, differing in many important respects from those of the equally eminent authorities Mr. Searles V. Wood and his son.
