PLATE IV. 



Fig. 1. — A'iew of the castle-hill of Cliiu-jyu from the south, overhaugiiig 

 the Nam-gang (the Yöng-gang) river. There are three red shrines 

 built on it, commemorating the sad event already mentioned in 

 reference to PL III. fig. o. The large two-storey hall of Chyu-sök- 

 ru on the left where the citizens enjoy the river's view is a fine 

 specimen of Korean architecture. On the cHfï we see the benches 

 of micaceous sandstone of the Lower Kj^öng-sang formation dipping 

 eastwards (p. 34). 



Fig. 2. — The Hoang-tai-chhi pass (^ i^: |Iif ) (280 ;/?), as seen from the east 

 (p. 38). It is a meridional ridge of an ortho-hornblende-gneiss 

 with its schistose plane tov/ard us, and forming the basement of 

 tlie Kyöng-sang formation. The ridge forms the eastern margin of 

 tlie Chi-ri-san massif which may be traced northeastwards for a long 

 distance. It was the first high pass crossed between Fusan and 

 Ha-doug during my journe}^ and a battle-ground where our soldiers 

 had a hard fight with the Koreans during Taikô's expedition 

 (p. 39). 



Fig. 3. — View from the ascent of the Hoang-tai-chhi pass (fig. 2 above) 

 towards the east. Here I took a retrospect, iti the direction of 

 Chin-jyu, of the tectonic physiography of the country traversed, 

 seeing before me the low regular ridges Avliich run meridionally, 

 corresponding to tlie uplifted crest of the sandstone series of tlie 

 liower K^^üng-sang formation (p. 39).
