Abstract
DURING a recent visit to an East Lincolnshire seaside place, Mabelthorpe, the remains of a submerged forest were pointed out to me plainly visible at low water. On closer inspection, the stumps of fallen trees, firmly embedded in the clay from one to twenty inches above the surface could be traced along the low-water level. I should be much obliged if any reader could fix a date at which the forest was growing. Does it not prove a subsidence of land in the neighbourhood?
