162 TATE: THE YORKSHIRE BOULDER COMMITTEE. 
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 
striz. Others, still smaller, may be seen, of red and grey granite, 
mica schist, red fine-grained sandstone (Permian?), lias showing 
ryphea 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 chalk. 
STAINTON 
Hall, near Robin Hood’s Bay, on the first ledge of the cliffs is 
a boulder 3 ft. 5 in. x 3 ft. x 2 ft. Rounded and much weathered 
longest axis N.W. and S.E.; no groovings or striations ; Shap Fe 
granite ; is about 250 feet above sea-level. 
Lockincton.—At Lockington, near Beverley, on the farm of 
Mr. George Langdale, a boulder protects an artesian well, about half 
a mile E. of the railway station. 
It is at present 2 ft. 7 in.x1 ft. 10 inx1d ft. 9 in. but has 
evidently been reduced in size ; a coarse-grained grit, like Millstone 
Grit ; is about 100 ft. above sea-level; originally rested on boulder 
clay, which covers the surrounding district. 
Fitry.—On the estate of Mr. Martin, and extending about 60 
yards from the shore up the ravine, or at the bottom of what is known 
as Bentley’s Beck, are boulders of Whinstone, Sandstone, and 
Mountain Limestone. 
No striz visible ; about 30 ft, above sea-level ; all are more or 
less imbedded in the clay, save those which have rolled down from 
their former positions. 
At the h of the ravine b d the following boulders :— 
Whinstone, Coarse Grit, Dolerite, Hard Red Sandstone, Estuarine 
Sandstone, Mountain Limestone (full of corals), etc. 
The whole of these boulders have been removed to their present 
positions. The absence of granite boulders is accounted for, after 
inquiry, by their selection for the ornamentation of gardens. 
SEAMER (NEAR ScARBOROUGH).—Seamer gravel-pit, adjoining 
Seamer Station, N.E. Railway. This pit is about 20 acres in extent, 
with an average depth of 12 ft.; during the time of excavation the 
following boulders were found: The largest at present in the pit is 
4 ft. 8 in. x2 ft. 8 in. x1 ft. thick; angular, but no ice markings. 
There are 10 boulders averaging 3 ft. x 2 ft., four of which are 3 ft. 2 in. 
x 2 ft. 1 in. x 1 ft. 8 in.; rounded whinstone 3 No striation ; and four 
averaging 3 ft. 4 in. x 3 ft. 1 in. x 2 ft. 3; composed of different kinds 
of sandstone; angular. One 3 ft. 10 in. x 2 ft. 7 in. x 2 ft 3 angular;
