An Aeolian Pleistocene Deposit at Clevedon

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The deposits which are the subject of this paper have already attracted some attention, because of their connexion with the contents of a small, though highly fossiliferous bone-cave at a placecalled Holly Lane (Figs. 1, 2), discovered by Mr. G. E. Male, of Clevedon, towards the close of the year 1905. Mr. Male worked at it for many weeks, and with his brother, Dr. H. C. Male, of Croydon. collected hundreds of bones, though unfortunately considerable numbers had been already thrown away. In the following year Professor Sidney Reynolds also began to collect, and obtained about 500 more. Probably not less than 2,000 have been preserved. They are now in the museums at Jermyn Street (London), Bristol, and Taunton, and in Dr. Male's collection. The vertebrates were named by Mr. E. T. Newton, Professor Reynolds, and Mr. Martin Hinton (with notes by Mr. S. G. Shattoek, of the Royal College of Surgeons, and by Professor Sir W. Boyd Dawkins), and the gasteropods by Mr. E. T. Newton, the shells having lately been re-examined and the list revised by Mr. A. S. Kennard.
