The Paper was presented at the Association’s July 1880, Totnes meeting. The author provides a comprehensive list and descriptive analysis of some large granitoid, Limestone and quartz boulders scattered throughout South Devon. The author speculates that the masses of stone themselves may have been derived from submarine granitoid rocks in situ. For the genealogist, the paper is a treasure house of names and places associated with the earliest research into our county’s unique geological history. The Paper, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
