PALAEOLITHIC DEPOSITS. 9
Lexden, Coleoptera (E.N., ii., 1888, p. 69, quotation). They
are of S. European affinities, and occur in association with
Elephas and Rhinoceros leptorhinus (now in Brit. Mus.). 49
Wrabness (Miller Christy, E.N.. xv., 1907, pp. 46 ; 102-104 ;
xv., 1908, p. 151). The bones occur at the base of the
low cliff on the Stour, not far from high water mark.
Elephas antiquus, 2 molars now in E.F.C. Museum, and
E. primigenius, 1 molar. 5°
Stutton Ness (J. E. Taylor. E.N., iv., 1890, p. 171). Low
cliff on the Stour (Suffolk side) ; brickearth with Elephas,
Corbicula fluminalis, and flint chips. There is gravel on a
similar level at Wherstead on the Orwell. 51
Harwich [20] 52
The Naze (W. H. Dalton, E.N., iii., 1889, p. 223 ; xii., 1902,
p. 218 ; xiii., 1904, p. 367). Suggests that the supposed
Chillesford Clay, overlying the Red Crag, may be post-
glacial, like the Clacton bed. It would then be underlying
the High Terrace (which covers it), while the Clacton bed
is Mid-Terrace. 53
Walton, early record (T. V. Holmes, E.N., i., 1887, p. 108).
Quotes Camden's Britannia (1610)—"What hath been
found in this place, have heere out of the words and credit
of Ralphe, the Monke of Coggeshall, who wrot 350 years
agoe. 'In King Richard's time, on the seashore, at a
village called Erdulphnesse [Walton Naze], were found
two teeth of a certain Giant, of such a huge bignesse, that
two hundred such teeth as men have now a daies might
be cut out of them. These I saw at Coggeshall.' " 54
Walton, record of 1803 (E.N., xiii., 1904, p. 295). A fall of
the cliff exposed a skeleton of "Mammoth." described as
being 30 feet long, and with molars weighing 7 and 12
pounds. There is no doubt that the situation of this
deposit [and also 54] was near the Old Bath House Hotel.
It was exposed in a low cliff and on the foreshore, about
a mile S.S.W. of the Naze. It has not been seen for many
years. 55
Mollusca, Walton (W. M. Webb, E.N., viri., 1894, pp. 160-162).
List of shells in J. Brown collection. [20, p. 98] This
series was from Clacton, not Walton. 6
Clacton (E. R. Ransome, E.N., iv., 1890, p. 201). Skull of
Elephas antiquus, Cervus browni, etc. 57
Clacton (A. S. Kennard and B. B. Woodward, E.N., x.,
1898, pp. 288-290). The J. Brown MSS., now in the
Nat. Hist. Museum, contain the original notes upon which
his papers on Clacton and other localities were based. 58
