i. The Nang-nim Ridge. An important ridge which separates 

 both ivai-mas, seems to tne to be a continuation "I" the Thai-Päik-san 

 of South Korea. It is the Nang-nim-san ridge with the escarpment 

 toward the west. Nang-nim-san itself, as far I could make out, 

 seems to be a branch of the Työk-yu-ryönff ridsre. The Tai-sranff- 

 syÖm S) peninsula at the entrance of Yöng-heung Bay bridges over 

 Nang-nim with the Keum-gang-san portion of the Thai-Päik-san 

 range. It encloses landwards the inlet of Syong-djyön 8) or Port 

 Lazareff. Its northern prolongation is not well ascertained, but as 

 Freiherr Ferdinand von RicHTHOFENsuggests 4) , the angle of Mao-erh- 

 shan, — the sudden turn of the river-course of the Am-nok, — must be 

 ascribed to its presence. Its further course may perhaps be traced in 

 the geologic structure though it may not be apparent in surface- 

 features. 



ii. The Ham-koal-lymg Ridge. — In East Kai-ma I have still to 

 mention two other ridges which lie to the east of the preceding and 

 run approximately in the same direction, but with the fallen blocks on 

 the contrary side, consequently presenting sharp scarps toward the 

 east. In both trend and structure, they must be grouped with the 

 Thai-Päik-san range. 



The Ham-koal-lyong ridge, as has been already stated, starts 

 from the gneiss pass of the same name between Ham-heung and 

 Hong-ubn 5J . I have crossed it in the eye-gneiss region of Syöl-lyöng 

 (1,565 m.) in the interior. Perhaps in its farther course it meets the 

 Kal-eung-nyong ridge at the gorge of Chhyung-thyöl-lyöng in the 

 Am-nok Gang. 



iii. The Ma-thyöl-lyöng^ Ridge.— The pass of the same name 

 (600 m.) lies to the west of the free port of Syöng-jin. It is a well-
