Abstract
DURING the past seven years much new evidence has been obtained concerning the stratigraphy of the Cromer Forest Bed Series of the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, and this requires the sequence put forward by Clement Reid1,2 to be revised. These new investigations have not yet been completed and it will be some time before the full stratigraphical and palaeoecological results will be available. But because of the importance of the Cromer Forest Bed Series for the European Middle Pleistocene succession it will be of general interest to give a simplified description of our provisional stratigraphical results.
