BURSTWICK. 
Six miles north-east of Hull. A gravel-pit, underlying boulder 
clay, yielded the following varieties of boulders seldom exceeding 
a foot in diameter, and more or less water-worn :— 
Chalk and flint (Belemnites), Lias limestone and Marlstone 
(A. communis, Gryphea), Old rhyolites, Carb. limestone, Brockram, 
Quartz felsite (Armboth), Whinsill, Rhomb porphyry, Red granite 
(Norwegian?) Gneiss, Volcanic lava. 
Nore.—In the village of Burstwick are numerous boulders 
forming curbs, door-steps, etc. Several of these exceed a foot in 
diameter, and they are all well rounded. No doubt the greater part 
of them are from the gravel-pit. Among them are the following :— 
Basalt, very common, especially at the’ street corners; Carb. lime- 
stone with fossils, numerous ; granites both pink and white varieties, 
frequently used as door-steps ; Gneiss, one very large boulder a few 
yards from the village ‘pub.’; Quartzite, several on roadside leading 
to the church; Old rhyolite, occasionally met with as curbs on 
roadside. A boulder of undoubted Norwegian origin—augite- 
syenite—was found in a field near Burstwick, at a recent excursion 
of the Hull Geological Society. 
Reported by Mr, J. W. STATHER, F.G.S., Hon, Sec. Hull Geol, Soc. 
MELTON. 
About six miles west of Hull and south of the village of Melton, the 
bank of the Humber is formed for about a quarter of a mile bya low 
cliff of boulder clay locally known as Redcliff. The clay is full of 
boulders, including a huge percentage of far-travelled rocks. In 
my collection from this locality, Mr. Alf. Harker has recognised two 
Norwegian types, viz. the Augite-syenite (lausvikete of Brogger), and 
Rhomb porphyry, neither of which have been observed so far west 
before. Along with these we find Quartz porphyry and Brockram 
from the Vale of Eden, as well as other rocks waiting identification.
