tain-shadow. A river flows through u gorge of the ridge near 

 that place toward Chin-jyu. Chiri-san viewed from the north ia 

 majestic. 



ii. The Neung-jyu Ridge. — From the Na-jyu plain we sec on the 



south toward Neung-jyu 13 a ridge running eastwards from the cele- 

 brated Uöl-chhyul-san 2) of Yöng-am 3) with a precipice facing us like 

 the preceding. For a while it is lost in the hilly land of Tong-pok 4) , 

 reappearing near the Chan-syu 5) ferry of Ku-ryöi. It then crosses the 

 Syöm-jin Gang at the north of Ha-dong, and proceeds north of the 

 Hoang-chhi toward the south of Chin-jyu and Chin-häi. The middle 

 Syöm-jin Gang is deflected to an easterly course by this ridge. The road goes 

 along its northern foot between Chin-häi and Chin-jyu in Kyöng- 

 syang Do, and between Ku-ryöi and Na-jyu via Tong-pok. 



iii. The Pyöng-yöng Ridge 6 *. — This begins at Häi-nam and goes 

 .along the north of Kang-jin 7> , Chyang-heung 8) , Po-syöng 9) , Nak-an 10) 

 and Syun-thyön n) (Sol-chhi 12) , 240 m.), Koang-yang I3) as far as Ko- 

 syong 14) , after traversing the Syöm-jin Gang and the Sä-chhyön 15) inlet. 

 The fault scarp by this time faces south, and though it is not a high 

 one, it marks the water-parting on the south-coast. A tolerably fair 

 road is constructed between Syun-thyön and Häi-nam along the south 

 foot of the ridge. 



Still other ridges eg' similar structure and parallel orientation are seen, 

 one along the coast and the other through the Chyang-ching-no 

 islands 16) , Heung-yang, Yö-syu, the islands of Nam-häi and Kö- 

 chyoi.
