FOX-STRANGWAYS : FILEY BAY AND BRIGG. 
along this part of the cUff, and they all occur at exactly the same 
geological horizon, that is, in the passage beds immediately over the 
ball bed of the Lower Calcareous Grit, These balls, which are 
excessively hard, are contained in soft sandy strata 10 ft. thick ; 
consequently when they occur near the upper limit of the waves 
they are easily denuded, and the talis fall out. These are then 
rolled about by each succeeding tide, when they help to bombard 
the cliff and grind out the hollow or bath in the centre. 
The small arch in the centre of the picture shows how these 
comparatively soft sands are more readily denuded, while the 
ominous crack that may be seen in the cliff above implies that it 
will not be long before a further portion of this cliff is removed. 
6. Cliffs North Side of Carr N^ze, looking N.W. 
This is one of the most westerly of the "doodles" seen from 
above. In this view the higher beds are better seen. Their more 
rubbly character is here apparent, and contrasts very strikingly with 
the more massive beds shown in the previous views. One also 
observes that the overlying Boulder Clay is denuded into much 
flatter slopes, being washed down by the sheets of spray which pour 
over these cliffs during a northerly gale. 
7. Cliffs North of Carr Naze, looking E. 
This is the opposite side of the point shown in No. 6, and does 
not call for particular notice. The contortion of the rubbly lime- 
stone below the Boulder Clay is rather better shown in this view, as 
is also the indented character of the coast line. 
8. Cliffs between Filey and Gristhorpe Bay, looking E. 
This view is taken from the the projecting angle of Gristhorpe 
Cliff, near Cunstone Nab, looking S.E. towards Filey Brigg, which 
is dimly seen in the distance. The cliff here has an elevation of 
250 ft. and shows the whole thickness of the Oxford Clay and the 
Lower Calcareous Grit with a considerable amount of Boulder Clay 
on top. The Passage Beds and Lower Limestone may be found 
here and there peeping out beneath the Boulder Clay, and were at
