On the south side of the Tees, at the Tees Tiler}’-, near Eston 
ironworks, boulder clay was proved over 100ft. deep. The valley 
persued its course past Kirkleatham to near Marske, where it joins 
the German Ocean, from under the boulder clay cliffs which guard 
this part of the coast. Borings near North Skelton, four miles south 
of Marske, show that the stratification has been washed out to a 
depth much below the bed of the present stream, and has been 
replaced by boulder clay, the inference being that this indicated the 
bed of a stream probably tributary to the one just described, which 
must have carried its water much further east than the present coast, 
to join the sea. 
Glacial era . — Making these river beds the starting point, next 
came the glacial disturbance, about which my remarks will be 
limited to the evidence it furnishes me bearing upon my subject. 
It almost overwhelmed this district, grinding up the country, leaving 
striations recording the direction it travelled upon the local rocks, 
making Eston Nab, Hob Hill, and Roseberry Topping outlyers, bring'- 
ing debris and boulders from the western part of the island, and 
filling up the submerged river beds. There being no boulders or 
drift above 800ft. in Cleveland, this, therefore, marks the highest 
point to which the water attained, although the ice must have passed 
over the Penine range at an altitude of 1,450ft., to bring over the 
fragments of Eden valley and lake district rocks, which are scattered 
so plentifully about. 
Perforated stones at Wilton . — Having been informed upon very 
good authority, that there were to be found on the Wilton Castle 
escarpment, near Redcar, blocks of perforated rocks having the shells
