Abstract
About ten years ago, when studying the drifts of East Yorkshire, Mr. G. W. Lamplugh counted and roughly classified the larger boulders of Flamborough Head and other selected localities on the coast. This work has been continued by members of the Hull Geological Society, who have up to the present time recorded nearly four thousand boulders, of twelve inches and upwards in diameter. To avoid possible error, arising from the moving beach and other causes, only the boulders actually in place in the clay were noted, or such as had obviously recently fallen from the cliffs. The whole of the coastline from Spurn to Flamborough has been surveyed in this way, and also portions of the coast north of Flamborough as far as Saltburn. The lists thus prepared have been published from time to time by the Hull Geological Society and by the Erratic Blocks Committee of the British Association.
