been moved ; longest axis N.E. and 8.W.; shows groovings and strie in 
direction of longest axis, some being nearly a foot long; Shap Fell 
granite. 
No. 4,.—2 ft. 1 in. x1 ft. 10 in. x1 ft. 8in. Rounded; whinstone. 
No. 5.—8 ft. 8 in. x2 ft 6in. x1 ft. 3in. Flat angular block of fine 
grained sandstone. 
These are all about 50 ft. above sea-level, and rest upon the Red 
Chalk or lower beds of the Lower Chalk. 
Nore.—All these boulders are scattered over a distance of about 50 
yards up the creek in a westerly direction. 
In Speeton Gap, and following the course of the beck for about 150 
yards westwardly from the footbridge, are the following boulders :— 
1 ft. 8 in. x 1 ft. x9in. Rounded. Whinstone. 
1 ft. 2 in. x 1 ft. x 9 in. 33 Mountain limestone, contain- 
ing Productus giganteus. 
1 ft.6in.x1 ft. lin.x6in. Subangular. Fine sandstone. 
1 ft. 6 in. x 1 ft. x7in. Rounded. Dolerite. 
1 ft. x 6 in. x6in. Roundedtosubangular. Whinstone. 
1 ft. 6 in. x 1 ft. x1 ft. Rounded. Fine sandstone. 
1 ft. Ont. x6in. Subangular. Whinstone. 
1 ft.4in.x1ft.2in.x7in. Angular. Fine sandstone. 
1 ft. Saif hel, x 10 in. Subangular. Dolerite. 
I ft. x 6 in. x4in. Rounded. Mountain limestone, contain- 
ing coral. 
3 ft. 5 in. x 1 ft. 6 in.x 10 in. Angular. Coarse, gritty sandstone. 
1 ft. 4 in. x 1 ft. x8in. Angular to subangular. Whinstone. 
Besides the above there were about 50 sandstones, 15 whinstones, 6 
mountain limestones, and 5 ironstones, averaging 1 ft.x8 in. The whole 
were much worn, and show no definite markings or strie. Others, still 
smaller, may be seen, of red and grey granite, mica schist, red fine- 
grained sandstone (Permian?), lias showing gryphea incurva, limestone, 
slate, various sandstones, and nodular ironstone from the estuarine 
series. 
- They are about 60 ft. above sea-level. 
Most of these boulders rest upon clay overlying the Red Chalk, and 
some directly upon the chalk itself. The slopes of the gap are covered _ 
with the remnant of boulder clay, which has thus far escaped denudation. 
In former years the slopes of this ravine were dotted all over with large 
boulders, but these have been removed for road repairs, and it is only on 
account of the somewhat inaccessible character of the gorge at this point 
that these are allowed to remain. 
Staintondale Cliffs (Coast).—About # mile S.E. of Peak Hall, near 
Robin Hood’s Bay, on the first ledge of the cliffs known as Staintondale 
Cliffs, is a boulder. 
It is 3 ft. 5 in. x3 ft. x2 ft. Rounded and much weathered ; longest 
axis N.W. and 8.E.; no groovings or striations; Shap Fell granite; is 
about 250 feet above sea-level. 
Lockington.—At Lockington, near Beverley, on Lord Hotham’s estate, 
and on the farm of Mr. George Langdale, is a boulder. It protects an 
artesian well, about 4 mile E. of the railway station. 
It is at present 2 ft. 7 in. x1 ft. 10 in. x1 ft. 9 in., but has evidently 
been reduced in size ; a coarse-grained grit, like Millstone Grit; is about 
a 
100 ft. above sea-level; originally rested on boulder clay, which covers 
the surrounding district.
