Scarborough.—In the parish of Newby, on the north side of Scarborough 
estate, belonging to the Burial Board, and now used as a cemetery, about 
4 mile west of the coast and 100 yards east of the Scarborough Whitby 
Railway. It is 4 ft. 10 in. x3 ft. 2 in. x2 ft. 9 in., subangular, has been 
moved; there are no ice marks; composed of hard, compact sandstone 
resting on boulder drift about 50 ft. above sea-level. 
Scalby (North Riding).—In the parish of Scalby (near Scarborough), 
estate, Dr. Rook’s, about 15 mile west of the coast and 4 mile east of 
the village of Stainton Dale, at the bottom of Stainton Dale beck, 
1 ft. 8 in. x1 ft. 2 in. x1 ft., dolerite ; another one is 1 ft. llin. x1 ft. 4in. 
x9 in., whinstone. Both are subangular; nearest locality about 10 miles ; 
N.W. of Whin Dyke, Robinhood’s Bay ; resting on boulder drift about 
100 ft. above sea-level. 
Underneath the boulder drift is composed of estuarine conglomerite. 
Ruston Parva (Hast Riding).—In the parish of Ruston Parva, about 25 
miles west of Lowthorpe Station, N.E. Railway, East Riding of Yorkshire, 
there is a large block of diorite forming a protection for the angle of the 
road leading from Driffield to Kilham at the west side of the village of Rus- 
ton Parva. The land is in the occupation of Mr. Jefferson, but owned by 
W. H. St. Quintin, Esq., of Scampstor Hall, near Malton. It is appa- 
rently a very large boulder, as it stands in an upright position 28 in. out 
of the ground, whilst its greatest length across the exposed surface is 
28 in. by 25 in. thick. 
It is quite angular, almost indicating from its surface that an attempt 
has been made to reduce its size. 
So far as can be ascertained, the boulder has been in its present posi- 
_ tion for upwards of 100 years; for, although it must have been placed in 
its present position, no one’s memory carries so far back. 
There are no ruts, grooving, or striation to be seen upon its surface ; 
it shows no indication of having been ground in any way. 
The stone is dark diorite, and there is no rock of this nature within 
50 miles. Its position is about 100 ft. above the level of the sea, resting 
- on boulder clay. 
Speeton.—In the parish of Speeton, near Filey, on the farm occupied 
by Mr. J. Jordan’s trustees; estate of Lord Londesborough. The locality 
is commonly known as Speeton Gap. At the bottom of the gap, just 
where the footpath crosses the beck, and about 250 yards N.W. of the 
beach, are five large boulders.
