240 REPORT — 1887. 



Right bank of stream below Ingleby Cliurcli, 1ft. 4in.xlft. 2 m. 

 X ? Very like some of the Upper Old Red Traps of Kelso, S. of 



Scotland. Mr. Clough has noticed these I'ocks, mixed with Cheviot rocks 

 in considerable quantity among Bridlington Bay boulders. 



Ingleby Mill Dam, 1 ft. X 1 ft. X 9 in . Rounded. Compact basalt 

 or possibly an augite-andesite. Might be matched from Lower Old Red 

 districts of the Cheviots, but not a common type there. Probably from 

 some other district in the S. of Scotland. 



Ingleby Mill Dam, 1ft. 2 in. xl ft. x 9 in. Volcanic ash. From 

 Cheviots or adjoining volcanic district of S. of Scotland. 



(D) Blocks from more distant N. parts of Scotland. — In stream just 

 below bridge near Mr. Boyes' farm, 1 ft. 5 in. x 1 ft. 9 in. x 1 ft. 2 in. 

 Very like an igneous mass in the Highlands, near the head of Loch 

 Katrine and Loch Lomond. 



(E) Blocks from S.W. of Scotland. — Stream at Ingleby, 10 in, x6 in. 

 X 6 in. Might be from the shoulder of Criffel. 



(F) Blocks from the Lake district. — Blocks of Shap granite not at all 

 uncommon. 



Ino-leby Mill Dam, 1 ft. 2 in. X 1 ft. X 9 in. Probably from volcanic 

 series of Barrowdale. 



Ingleby Vicarage Garden, 7 in. x 6 in. x 4 in. Ibid. 



A number of other specimens are also analogous to the rocks of the 

 Lake district. 



The following reports have been furnished by the Yorkshire Boulder 

 Committee : — 



Dr. R. T. Manson, Darlington, reports upon the ' Stranger's Stone,' 

 Deepdale, N. Yorkshire. 



It is Shap Fell granite, 8 feet in height and 22 feet in circumference, 

 on the bank of Deepdale Beck, about a mile up the stream from the point 

 whence it flows into the Tees. 



Semi-oval and smoothed ; longest axis N.E. and S.W. Not em- 

 bedded, but stands on a flat edge of the mountain limestone, which 

 forms the bed of the stream, 550 feet above sea-level. 



Probably moved by man from the higher ground above the river, 

 since on the south-end face are two holes filled with lead as if for the in- 

 sertion of iron hinge hooks for a gate, which in its present position would 

 hang over the river. 



Dr. Manson also reports upon an erratic block of Shap Fell granite at 

 Low Field, three-quarters of a mile west of Clifi" Hall, near Pierce 

 Bridge, on the Yorkshire side of the Tees. The boulder is in the hedge 

 side, on the east side of the field, about 200 yards from the river. It is 

 about 70 feet above the river ; 10 feet long on front face ; 7 feet 4 inches 

 from front to back. The boulder is sunk in the ground considerably ; 

 portion visible 4 feet above soil. Sub-angular; rounded top. Long- 

 shaped. Longest axis N. and S. No groovings. An attempt has evi- 

 dently been made to break it ; holes have been cut in it with chisels. 

 Two hundred and fifty feet above sea-level. Isolated ; some beds of 

 gravel not far off. Embedded, I think, deeply in the soil, which is heavy 

 clay. 



jq'OTF. — Another smaller boulder is lying to the left of the walk leading 

 to Cliff" Hall, about a mile west from the other. It is rounded, and about
