THIS paper gave a description of a remarkable plateau of 
mountain limestone surmounting the hill, which is something 
under 800 feet high, that separates Cartmel from the village of 
Grange, on the Lancaster and Furness Railway. The marks of 
sea action,—or at least, of aqueous action,—were very distinct 
over the whole of this plateau of naked rock; and the resem- 
blance between them and the wave-scored rocks at the level of 
the present sea is so striking, that the author expressed an 
opinion that the whole hill had been upheaved within a com- 
paratively recent period. The evidences on which he chiefly 
relied were, first, a large number of limestone and slate boulders 
still covermg the hill, and evidently the result of glaciers or 
ice-floes in a glacial sea, and secondly, a well-defined sea- terrace, 
rising with scarcely any break from the present sea below Grange 
to the crown of the Hampsfell. 
A succession of steps or rocky flats on the western side of 
the hill having the several floors wave-marked in the same 
manner, and each terminated by a low wall or cliff, were referred 
by the writer to successive upheavals of the hill subsequent to 
the deposition of the boulders, which he thought most probably
