dynasty. Tlie third shrine is the largest, bnt I could not make 

 out the character of its contents. 



Leaving this strategic point (PL XV. fig. 1) and the real 

 entrance of Cln/öl-ld-Do from Knong-miui-Do, we passed through 

 a narrow tract of gnoissoid hornblende granite '\ schistose 

 adamellite, porphyritic normal granite-gneiss, genuine orthogneiss, 

 and the like, — various modifications of a granitic magma, witli 

 the schistose axis N. 80" E., corresponding to the direction of the 

 Pam-clüil lidge. Tliis direction was constantly observed all 

 along tlie road and river-cliffs, intruded by numerous dykes of 

 reddisli aplite which closely follows the schistose direction as if 

 it were interbanded muscovite-gneiss ; only a few cross it 

 transeversely. 



From In-ii'ôl (PL XV. fig. 2), the road rises imperceptibly to 

 the PhahJn/öng-chJu"'-. Tliis is 430 m high (see fig. 2), being 

 nearly as high as Yo-u'ôn-chhl already mentioned"'', and forms the 

 eastern edge of the Un-hong flat and the rim of the axial ridge 

 of the Chlri-san range. From the pass n panoramic view (PL 

 XV. fig. 3) opens disclosing the low, dark couHsse ridges of 

 Kgong-sang-Do and the Ki/öng-sang formation, in contrast to the 

 highly sculptured and naked hilly granite land of Ham -y an g 

 directly below. 



The slope of the PJial-hi/öng-cJiJn is. as before stated, built 

 up of granitic gneiss which, being tinged somewhat bluish, is 

 traversed abundantl}^ by aplite which also has become schistose, 



1) It may be pointed out ixs a special feature of this rock that the hornblende contains 

 round grains of albite in poildlitic fashion, and the plagioclase encloses xenomorphic quartz 

 whose contour is said to correspond to pinacoids and a dome. To me the rock seems to have 

 consolidated under special circumstances between hypabyssal and plutonic conditions. B.
