Geological Society), describes the following group of erratics :—On 
the half mile of beach opposite Easington, about six miles from 
Spurn. Point, and at the southern end of Dimlington ‘high land’ 
(boulder clay cliffs) are many boulders, twelve of the largest being 
measured, viz. :—

Are all subangular ; the longest axis of A, B, and H are N.W. and 
S.E., those of G and L being E. and W.; K and F are striated, and 
D more decidedly so; they are below high-water mark, and rest 
upon the basement clay, in which they are partly imbedded ; others 
have probably fallen from the purple clay which here forms the 
upper part of the cliff. |

gardens. It is 2 ft. 8 in. x 1 ft. 9 in. x 2 ft. 6 in.; it is roughly
