|E\\'SPAPER 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 JVcs/ern Morni7ig News of June 12th, 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.
