Abstract
Remains of Shrews have long been known to occur in the Norfolk ‘Forest Bed’, and have been discovered in several British Pleistocene deposits. Hitherto they have been referred to one or other of the three species at present inhabiting this country, but having had occasion lately to examine nearly all the available material, comprising representative series of specimens from each of the known horizons, I find that it is not until we reach the latest Pleistocene deposits that we meet with, remains of species indistinguishable, with the material before us, from the living British forms.
