FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS NEAR SCARBOROUGH. 
J. A. HARGREAVES. 
In December last, Mr. Arnold Wallis and Mr. Stevenson 
observed several footprints in fallen blocks of rock at the foot 
of a cliff about 33 miles north of Scarborough. Further visits 
were paid to the place and eventually the specimens were 
removed to the Scarborough Museum. 
Fossil footprints, though well known from Triassic and 
Wealden strata, both in this country and elsewhere, have not 
long been known from Oolitic rocks. 
About 18 years ago Mr. Rowntree obtained a footprint from 
Fossi! Footprints near Scarborough. 
Cayton Bay, which Mr. Lamplugh pronounced to be probably 
crocodilian. 
In 1907 and again in 1908, Mr. Harold Brodrick, of Birk- 
dale, found a number of footprints in Lower Oolitic fallen blocks 
at Saltwick, near Whitby. The specimens were removed to the 
Whitby Museum and are described and figured in The Naturalist 
for August, 1908, pp. 301-302. 
The footprints recently found are in blocks of unevenly 
bedded sandstone, which had evidently fallen from a rather 
high cliff. They are somewhat weathered. The district where 
they occurred is difficult of access, and is rarely visited except 
by shore fishermen and gravel gatherers.
