(Head July 22nd, 1908.) 



"HEWSPAPER reports of certain natural phenomena 

 which have occurred at Lyme Regis have aroused 



popular interest ; but, unfortunately, most of these 

 reports are more or less inaccurate. That given 

 in the Western Morning News of June iath, 1908, 

 is, however, fairly correct, because it was based 

 upon information given by Mr. A. C. G. Cameron, 

 a retired officer of the Geological Survey, now resident at 

 Uplyme. 



Thinking it would interest the members of our Club to have a 

 more complete and connected explanation of what did take 

 place, I have drawn up the following account, in preparing 

 which I am also indebted to Mr. Cameron for some additional 

 facts and for obtaining the photographs which illustrate this 

 paper. 



This explanation will fall naturally under three heads : 



(i.) The Structure of the Cliff Affected. 



(2.) The so-called "Burning Cliff" or Burning Mound. 



(3.) The Landslip of June loth.
