PLATE XXX. 



Fig. 1. — We rode up from Chyaug-gyöi-jyaug (II. XXIX. fig. 3) a gradual 

 slope along a valley (see picture) of porpliyritic gneiss-granite, and 

 finally readied the steep pass (900 ni) of the Yuk-sim-nyöng (-f^ 

 •f- ^). This was the highest point of the present Traverse, being 

 also one of the highest points in the high interior of Chy()l-la-Do. 

 (p. 127). 



Fig. 2. — About 5 hm west of tlie cftmnai of An-eni we came out from the 

 mountainous tract of white ej'e-gneiss into a rather low tract of 

 open topography. Here a clear stream ran down a tortuous 

 channel with deeply eroded bed broken by low cataracts. We saw 

 on the corraded bank a fine summer house, Nopheun-chyöng — a 

 choise spot for lovers of scenery (p. 128). We saw far behind a 

 high crest of Hoang-sök-san, a high ridge running parallel to and 

 east of the Yuk-sim-nyöng, already referred to (fig. 1 above). See 

 page 128. It is a characteristic feature of drainage of Kyöng-sang- 

 Do that all the waters coming from the west to the main of the 

 Nak-tong-gang are torrential, while those from the east persue a 

 slow meandering course. 



Fig. 8. — At Kuol-pho (f^ fffj) where the Nak-tong-gang makes a temporary 

 equatorial course, I took a view toward the east, looking in the 

 front a granitic Mt. Pi-seul-san (^^llj) rising direct and steeply 

 from the emmua of Hyiui-phuug (p. 132). The tervane in the front 

 is the " red formation " of the Upper Kyöng-sang formation.
