II.—Fossil Arctic Plants from the Lacustrine Deposit at Hoxne, in Suffolk
Near the village of Hoxne, close to the northern border of Suffolk, and about five miles east of Diss, lies the well-known lacustrine deposit from which Palaeolithic implements were obtained more than 90 years ago.

| Summary: | Near the village of Hoxne, close to the northern border of Suffolk, and about five miles east of Diss, lies the well-known lacustrine deposit from which Palaeolithic implements were obtained more than 90 years ago. This deposit has been so well described that it may seem presumptuous to imagine that there is still anything new to be said about it. But it so happens that every observer up till now has studied the deposit either from an archaeological or from a geological point of view. No one has paid special attention to the character of the associated plants, or to the climatic conditions which these plants indicate. |
