stone, averaging 2 ft. x1 ft. x1ft.; 8 of these are more or less angular 
blocks of whinstone; no striation. A short distance away are 31 igs 
averaging 2 ft. 2 in. x1 ft. 6 in.x1 ft.; ; part of these are rounded ; 
some instances showing faint traces of striation. Scattered and in rhe 
are 64 composed of grits to fine-grain compact sandstone, 56 of which 
average | ft. 2in. x1 ft. 1 in. x 113 in., and 8 are rounded whinstone ; no 
striation. Two others are iron grey ‘granite, averaging | ft. 6 in. x 1 ft. 
7 in. X1 ft. ; rounded; no strie. 
Norr.—The drift rests upon the Coralline Oolite, which appears to 
have been denuded away, leaving several harder lamps projecting into 
the drift. These were met with, and had to be removed to make room 
for the temporary railway. The whole extent of this drift bed i is about 
60 acres. Generally speaking, the main of the boulders were found on 
or towards the north face of the drift, which also contained the roughest 
gravel. To the south-east the gravel gradually gets smaller, more 
decayed, and rotten. 
On the estate of Lord Londesborongh, in the parish of Seamer, about 
4 miles 8.W. of Scarborough, there is a boulder at the bottom of an old 
quar ry in Limekiln Field on Eastfield Farm, occupied by Mrs. Hldines. 
It is 3 ft. 1 in. x2 ft. 9 in.x2 ft. 1 in.; angular; there are wide 
hollow groovings in the direction of its longest axis; "dark blue whin- 
stone; about 200 ft. above sea-level. 
This quarry was formerly worked for Oolite Limestone. It is capped 
by about 4 ft. of boulder clay, a good section of which is exposed. This 
boulder has doubtless rolled from the top to its present position. 
Near Eastfield House, about 4 mile due east of Seamer railway 
station, is a boulder. 
It is 2 ft. 8 in. x2 ft. 2 in. x1 ft. 7 in.; rounded; has been moved ; a 
light brown sandstone, resembling the moor grit ; about 150 ft. above 
sea-level ; was found ina ridge of gravel running north-westerly, 
On Eastfield Farm, about 2 miles 8. of Scarborough and about 4 mile 
E. of Seamer railway station, are the following boulders :— 
2 ft. x1ft.9in.x1ft.4in. Subangular. Whinstone. 
2 ft. lin.x1ft.5in.x1ft.lin. Angular. 35 
2ft.2in.x1ft.9in.x1ft.1in. Rounded. Sandstone. 
Sip eoines let. x1 ft. 3 a 
2ft.1llin. x1ft.10in.x1ft.2in. Subangular. Whinstone. 
No striz visible; they have been removed from the adjoining fields ; 
about 150 ft. above sea-level. 
Norr.—There are many other boulders scattered over the farm, com- 
posed of whinstone and sandstone, in the proportion of 3 to 2; the sand- 
stone resembles the moor grit. 
Kilnsea (H. Riding).—Mr. John Cordeaux, M.B.O.U., Great Cotes, 
Uleeby, Lincolnshire, records an erratic. On the beach about 500 yards 
south of Kilnsea Beacon, Kilnsea, near Patrington, was a boulder, but 
now removed to the lawn of Dr. Hewetson’s garden, Hasington. 
It is 3 ft. 2in. x 2 ft. 4in.; subangular; long-shaped ; longest axis 
N.W. and §.E.; there are deep striz or groovings in direction of longest 
axis; Shap Fell granite ; it rested upon blue clay, had been probably ex- 
posed only a few days, and was in sitw when discovered by himsele and 
Dr. Hewetson on November 10, 1889. na 
Note.—This boulder has the value of being the only one found 
hitherto so far south on the Yorkshire Coast near Spurn Point.
