In Kyöng-syang Do, [ could trace many ridges of this system, 

 sometimes dislodged towards the south, sometimes toward the 

 opposite side. One of these runs north of Chin-häi n and Ung-chhyön, 

 after passing over the narrow inlet of Ma-sän-phö, with its pre- 

 cipitous wall towards south. The second ridge trends eastwards 

 between Chhil-uön 2) and Chhyang-uon 3i , and then to the north 

 of Kini-hai 4 '. It crosses the Nak-tong Gang at the fortified 

 gorge of Kkachhi-uön-koan 5) , ending at the sea near Keui- 

 jyang B) . Its steep side is on the north, and to it is entirely due the 

 remarkable angle of the Nak-tong Gang at Yong-san 7 ^. The third lies on 

 the north of the angle between Mil-yang 8) and Chhyöng-do 9) , and 

 passes through the Un-mun-nyöng 10) , and then Mal-li-syong n) be- 

 tween Ul-san and Kyong-jyu. The fourth stretches to the north of 

 the town Tai-ku at the granitic mountain of Phal-kong-san 12) . I have 

 still to mention the Mo-cha-san 13) ridge in the plateau (o00 m.) of 

 Yöng-ehhyön. 



I have grouped together all these fault-scarps and ridges under 

 the Han-san Range, by which the peninsular block has been succes- 

 sively dislodged southward, thus limiting the south border of Korea. 

 Small peninsulas, head-lands, islands, islets and rocks are only the 

 detached masses and fragments with skeletal ridges of the Thai-Päik- 

 san and Han-san ranges. Hundreds of these fragments abound in 

 the South Korean Archipelago. 



The Han-san Range is younger than the two preceding, viz., the
