Abstract
ALL students of the geology of the eastern and central parts of Norfolk and Suffolk will welcome this book, as giving the well-matured opinions of a geologist whose life-work was chiefly concerned with the Forest Bed and its associated formations, Crag and Drift. Those too who knew Mr. Gunn must be glad to have this memorial of so courteous, kindly, truth-seeking a man. No one enjoyed his friendship but was the better for it, and the writer looks back on days spent in his company, both in the field and at meetings of the Norwich Geological Society, as amongst the happiest events of a long sojourn in the Eastern Counties. Until reading this book he did not know the politics of Mr. Gunn, and he is glad to find another of many instances in which such matters are kept in the background, as regards scientific intercourse and personal friendship.
