Abstract
IT will no doubt be remembered that at the time of the discovery in 1911 of a human skeleton in a sand pit in the occupation of Messrs. A. Bolton and Co., Ltd. (late Bolton and Laughlin), of Henley Road, Ipswich, it was held by some geologists and by myself that, the remains occurred beneath an undisturbed stratum of weathered chalky boulder clay. Since this discovery I have been enabled to investigate extensively the small valley adjoining the sand pit in which the human skeleton was found, and to conduct excavations in the immediate vicinity of the spot where the bones occurred.
