LAMPLUGH : NOTES ON THE WHITE CHALK OF YORKSUIKK. 183 
140 feet high, which shuts in the view northward, the steady rise 
of the strata again brings up the Chalk-with-Flints to form the lower 
half of the cliff. It will be seen that there is in this neighbourhood 
a heavy capping of drift, and this presents many points of interest. 
It is composed in places almost entirely of re-arranged Speeton 
Clay pushed up by the ice in its southward progress, so that one 
may here collect characteristic Lower Cretaceous fossils above the 
Chalk. Fragments of Arctic marine shelh are also rather abundant 
in certain spots, more especially on the tumbled slope in the 
middle of the bay, to the left of the picture. Beneath the drift the 
superficial layers of the Chalk are frequently severely contorted by 
glacial action, such contortions fading out gradually downward. This 
feature is scarcely perceptible in the photograph, but it may be studied 
to advantage in the recess between the nearer and the distant cliff, 
and better still on the southern side of Sel wicks.''' 
10. North Side of Selwicks. 
In this plate we have a nearer view of the graceful pinnacle and 
the cliff adjacent to it which are seen in the last picture. The 
photograph is so beautifully clear that I think one may detect the 
flints in the Chalk at the base of the cliff, and may thereby fix the 
line of junction of the Middle with the Upper Chalk. A very 
similar pinnacle guards the opposite side of the bay, and the two are 
known together as Adam and Eve ; but whether this be Eve or Adam 
I cannot tell. 
11. At Kindle Scar, Selwicks. 
This, again, is a closer illustration of the detail of the cliff seen 
in Plate 9. The point of view is at the base of the cliff below high- 
water mark, a little to the northward of the pinnacle, looking inward 
through the arches which perforate the ridge, into the deep recess 
known as Molk Hole, seen to the left in Plate 9. This portion of 
the coast bears the name of Kindle Scar on the 6-inch Ordnance Map. 
12. High Stacks, the extremity of Flamborough Head. 
The most easterly point on Flamborough Head, known as High 
Stacks, is shown in this photograph. The standpoint for the view is
