Abstract
As you quote in NATURE of February 21, p. 278, from a note of mine printed in No. 6 of Natural History (American Museum of Natural History), will you allow me to state that the note quoted was not submitted to me in proof by the editor of Natural History. The part you quote embodies a serious misprint. The words “distinguished by the marine Pliocene” should read “distinguished by the name Pliocene.” As I am writing further on the application of the terms “Pliocene” and “Pleistocene” to various deposits in East Anglia, I should like to remove at once this unfortunate misrepresentation of my views.
