1. 4 ft. X 3 ft. X I ft. 6 in. Sub-angular. Longest axis, North,

2. 4 ft. X 4 ft. X I ft. 6 in. Sub-angular. Longest axis, North, 

 inclined to AVest. Whinstone. Above sea-level 280 ft Isolated. 

 Rests upon thin Boulder Clay, underlaid by Chalk. 



Bemptox and Buckton Ridino;. 



At Bennpton and Buckton. 3 ft. x 2 ft and 2 ft. cube is the 

 ordinary shape : a few angular, a few sub-angular, but mostly rounded. 

 The ones referred to have all been moved by man : built into 

 foundations of houses: set up at corners of streets: also used as 

 seats. There is no doubt whatever the boulders have been removed 

 from adjacent fields. By far the greater number are Whinstone: 

 there are many blocks of various Sandstones, but four-fifths are 

 Whinstone. They are about 250 ft. above sea-level. 



They are abundant in the villages of Bempton and Buckton — 

 speaking only of the large ones : five may be seen at the well ; ten 

 at the pond close by ; ten more in the cottages towards Clift" Lane : 

 five forming steps in the lane itself : hundreds in the walls, of smaller 

 size, but upwards of i ft. cube : ten in Buckton. upwards of 2 ft. : 

 fifteen at least in Old Bridlington, at the corners of streets, upwards 

 of 2 ft., some smoothed; twenty-four by the pond at Flamborough, 

 removed thither from adjacent fields. All the above-mentioned are 

 Whinstone : it is the characteristic boulder of the Buckton, Bempton, 

 and Flamborough Cliffs, and seems ubiquitous.
