PATRINGTON. 
Hundreds of large boulders, usually well water-worn, all 
over the village as corner-stones, steps, and built into walls. 
Several paths are paved with smaller boulders. They include 
asalt, gneiss, porphyrite, an occasional rhomb-porphyry, car- 
boniferous limestone and sandstone, lias, flint, etc. In a
