Report on the Boulders lying on the East Shore of the Estuary of the River 

 Dee, between Burton Bocks on the South and West Kirhy on the North,, 

 loith a comparison with those on the corresponding shore of the Mersey 

 from Herculaneum Dock, Liverpool, to Mersey View Road, Ditton, near 

 Widnes. By Miss Laura J. Shipton and Capt. Arthur R. Dwerry- 

 HOUSE, of Liverpool (per Glacialists' Association). 



The boulders for the most part lie on the beach between high and 

 low water marks, and are in some cases partially buried in sand and silt. 

 They have been derived from the washing away of the boulder clay cliffs. 



The boulder clay extends under the more recent river deposits, and in. 

 places crops out through these. 



Occasionally boulders are found in situ in these outcrops of clay. 

 Their dimensions in inches and their situation together with the direc- 

 tion of the axes and strias are given below : — 



(1) Adesite 25 in. x 24 in. x ? ; sub-angular ; planed ; striated ; strife N. 10° W. ; 



near Eifle Targets, Neston Collieries. 



(2) Silurian' grit 15 in. x 8 in. x 5 in. ( + ) ; sub-angular; planed; striated; 



stria N. 12° W. ; about middle of sea wall, south of Parkgate. 



(3) Andesite ' 15 in. x 9 in. x 6 in. ( + ) ; sub-angular ; planed; striated; striaa 



N. 12° W. ; near last. 



(4) Granite,' Criffel, 17 in. x 12 in. x 4 in. ( -1- ) ; sub-angular ; planed ; striated -^ 



stria N. 11° W. ; near last. 



(5) Silurian grit 23 in. x 20 in. x 6 in. ( h- ) ; sub-angular ; planed ; striated ;. 



strias N. 12° W. ; an embayment of sea wall about 40 yds. south of 

 the promenade, Parkgate. 



' Surrounding Nos. 2, 3. and 4 are a number of small ones, partly embedded in 

 boulder clay, and evidently i?i situ, and all having their upper surfaces approxi- 

 mately in the same horizontal plane. These are all striated in the same direction^ 

 viz., N. 12° W., and constitute a striated pavement similar to those described by the 

 late Mr. D. Mackintosh {Q.J.G.S., vol. xxxv. p. 434), and by Mr. J. Lomas, A.R.C.S... 

 and one of the present writers (Trans. Liver^pool Geol. Soc, pt. i. vol. vii. 1892-93).
