54 ART 2.— E. KOTO: 



south coast of Chi/öl-Ia-Jh. Quelpart or Chi/öi-Ji/u, 120 km dis- 

 tant, is the nearest island ef volcanic nature ; still the rock is 

 not an andésite but a liasic basalt. 



After makiig 4 I- m on tlie volcanic terrane, we entered the 

 equatorial Hat of Kaufj-jhi, tlic lai-gcst extent of plain, 12 /i77?,.by4, 

 on tlie soutli coast (P]. Vll. jUj. 1). It is bounded on the south 

 by a low but sharp ridge of fissile orthogneiss of the Kamnam 

 type, dipping steeply toward the equatorial axis of the valley, 

 while the north side exposes the back of the same rock. About 

 4 /,???, before reaching Kamj-jln, the northern hill-edge is overlaid 

 by the muscovite-schist (PI. VII. fi(j. 1) with interbanded white 

 quartz-schist of a loaf-sugar-like structure (with strike N.E. — 

 S.W., a high dip N.W.). 



Kangjix Kang-jin^^ lies at the end of the valley and at the head of 



a shallow meridional inlet whose entrance is protected by a group 

 of four islands '^\ the enclosed water forming a well protected 

 harbour which served as a base for our Navy during the Japan- 

 China wnr of 1894 — '95. The bay of Kang-jin separates the 

 headland of Tal-dun on the west from that of Chgön-goan-san ^^ on 

 the opposite side. The backbone of the headland of Tai-dim is 

 again a ridge which runs west of Kcm-jin, culminating in the 

 muscovite-schist height of Chf/cn-dök-san '\ easily seen from the 

 eumnai. The road to Yöng-am^^ runs along the eastern foot of 

 the ridge. Dur road went west, right through the ridge on the 

 muscovite-schist up to a low pass"^ where we again entered the 

 terrane of small eye-gneiss, and followed it down to Ilcm-chhym-
