PLATE XXVI. 



JTig. 1. — View toward the mouth of the Keum-gang river (-fg i£) whicli 

 flows by the free port of Ivun-san, liiddeu from view by a bare 

 liill to the left. Tlie hill as well as the mountains behind are 

 the terrane of the Mesozoic metamorphic schists (pp. 108, 109). 



Fig. 2. — The new Japanese settlement of Kuii-san (|^ ^]), as seen from 

 the bare hill on the east already mentioned (fig. 1). The free port 

 was opened in 1898, and there were few houses in 1901 at the 

 time of my visit. The state of things must be greatly changed 

 now. The landing place is a blaish ottrelite-schist (pp. 108-109). 



Fig. .3. — View of Kun-san from the opposite (west) side, looking up the 

 wide Keum-gang which is 1-2 fathoms deep during the spring- 

 tide for 35 hn as far up as Kang-gyüng (-JX -M: P« 108), which is 

 really the port in tlie interior. The Japanese Consulate is on a 

 hill on the left.
