PART II. 



CONTAINING THE HILLS IN EAST YORKSHIRE. 



At the date of the preparation of this list, few of the heights in this district had 

 been determined trigonometrically. The authorities used in the following cata- 

 logue are Col. Mudge, in the Ordnance Survey, marked (O.S.). Barometrical 

 measurements by Professor Phillips, in his Geology of the Yorkshire Coast and 

 others not previously published (P.). Barometric measurements added by Mr. 

 Gray (G.). 



The hills of this district form three classes. First Class : The Wolds in the East 

 Riding, rangingfromFlamborough Head to Hessle, composed of chalk, marked (A.). 

 Second Class : The Tabular Oolitic Hills, in the North Riding, commencing at 

 Filey Brig, and forming a number of bold escarpments from Oliver's Mount to 

 Hambleton End. These are composed of an oolitic limestone (coralline oolite), 

 calcareous sandstone (calcareous grit), thick blue clay (Oxford clay), and shelly 

 sandstone (Kettoways Rock) ; all which are exhibited in the Cliff at Scarborough 

 Castle. (B.) Third Class : The moorlands in the North Riding, consisting of a 

 series of sandy and argillaceous rocks, containing thin seams of coal and a bed of 

 impure h'mestone ; these rest upon the upper Lias Shale, which in several places 

 is worked for alum. And after passing below the cliffs of Hambleton, these rocks 

 reappear in the range by Brandsby, Terrington, &c. (C.)
