 PREFACE During the preparation of this volume the Editor has had to deplore the death of Mr. H. C. Sorby, LL.D., F.R.S., F.S.A., who left the rough draft of his article on the Marine Zoology of the county, the re- vision of the proofs of which was generously undertaken by the Rev. Canon Norma/i, D.C.L. The Editor also greatly regrets the loss of his old and much esteemed friend, Mr. George E. Fox, Hon. M.A., F.S.A., whose profound knowledge of Roman archaeology and kindly sympathy endeared him to a large circle of friends. Mr. Fox died before finally revising the proofs of his article on the Roman Remains of the county, for the correction of which the Editor is responsible. The late Canon Raven was to have written the articles on Early Man and the Anglo- Saxon Remains of the county, but died before commencing the work. The Editor has to express his thanks to Lord Francis Hervey for advice and assistance ; to the Society of Antiquaries, the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and Natural History, the British Archaeological Associa- tion, the Royal Archaeological Institute, the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia, Mr. C. D. Pridden, M.A., Mr. Frank Woolnough, Mr. W. Allen Sturge, M.V.O., M.D., F.R.C.P., and Miss Nina Layard, for illustrations and information ; and to Mr. Vincent Redstone for his ready help in many ways while passing the sheets through the press. Owing to unforeseen circumstances there has been a delay in the publication of this volume ; hence it is possible that works issued during the past year, touching upon the subjects with which it deals, may not have been consulted.
