Boulder-scars.—From Maryport to Parkgate, the E. coast of the Irish Sea at intervals exhibits accumulations or concentrations of large boulders, which are locally called scars. They may be seen in all stages of formation, from the denudational area, where they are in course of being left by the washing away of the clayey matrix, to the depositional area, where they have become half-covered with recent sand and shingle. In many places (as between Seascale and near Silecroft) there are so many boulders within a small area as to show that a considerable thickness of the clay must have been removed. With the exception of having tumbled down as the cliffs were undermined and worn back by the sea, many of the boulders may still rest nearly in the positions they occupied in the clay, but (as is evidenced on the coast at Parkgate) others, up to a great diameter, may have been shifted horizontally. Some of the scars exist where the Boulder-clay would appear to have risen up into ridges or mounds, as no clay is now found opposite to them at the base of the sea-cliff. Others are clay and boulder plateaux, visibly connected with the cliff-line. Most of the scars, I believe, are remnants of the great Lower Brown Boulder-clay. The most conspicuous boulder in the scars S.W. of Bootle, is Eskdale-fell granite, accompanied by a little Criffell granite, and a great number of the usual felspathic erratics.

Small Area Analysis

This article describes the use of Small Area Analysis (SAA) techniques in public health education planning and evaluation efforts. An array of health and social indicators for a mid-size metropolitan city (150,000+) were collected as part of the evaluation of a Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) community partnership grant for alcohol and other drug prevention. Data sources included the state public health department, school system, hospitals, census bureau, police department, and the city administration. Germane health and social indicators were then calculated for each of the city's socio-historical neighborhoods or zip code area. The process of gaining access to these diverse data and how they were used for planning and evaluation purposes are detailed and typical problems encountered in utilizing SAA techniques are enumerated. Finally, the potential for SAA as a community organizing tool for galvanizing community responses is discussed.
