Abstract
I HAVE recently paid another visit to Sheringham, and have again devoted my attention to the ferruginous “pan” which, for a distance of more than a quarter of a mile, is exposed in places in the base of the cliff forming Beeston Hill. From different areas of this “pan” I have taken fifteen more examples of the ochreous flints such as occur upon the foreshore exposed at low water. The specimens, as would have been clear to anyone examining the deposit intelligently, were, without question, in situ, and were embedded prior to the deposition of the great masses of glacial and other strata of which the cliff is composed.
