JOURNEYS THROUGH KOREA. 93 



already referred to, tenniiiating at the south of Chhijöng-ha '^ on 

 the coast. On the soutli is the open gravel waste of KiJÖng-Ji/ic, 

 from which direction flows the liijoncj-san-plio '^ in its wild river 

 bed. 



Thence onr road passed tln-ongli tlie gorge of IL/öiu/saii-pho 

 and out on tlie Tertiary flat of Yomj-ll (PI. XXI. fig. 2) at the 

 head of the shallow^ bay of the same name (Unkofsky Bay). 

 The eumnai itself is located on an unprotected sandy plain, 

 while Pho-hang '^ is a port at the montli of the river, and tlio most 

 frequented harbour on the coast. The gorge cuts througli the 

 coastal ridge of greenish breccia ^^ of the uppermost K/jöng-sang 

 formation which occurs liere in a thick bed (the strike X. 20' E., 

 the dip 10 N.W.). It weathers into light-yellow eartli, looking 

 very mucli like disintegrating granite. 



The trip along the coast a^iid then to Kyöng^jy 



u 



Having ended my second traverse across tlie peninsnla from 

 Mok-pho to Yöng-ll on the east, I turned southwards along the 

 shore towards Chijang-gi ^^ ; and in doing so I passed the hill- 

 neck of the Ho-dong-chhl ''\ about 4 km from the ciiniDäl, wliere a 

 light, soft, cream-colored tuffite, bedded liorizonta]I,y, was exposed 

 in distinct stratification.. This was the first time tliat I had met 

 with the typical Tertiary in the peninsula. The stratification- 

 plane is full of plant-impressions, besides fish bones, Cassis, and 

 Lucina. The plant-remains are Acer plctum Thunberg, Zelkova

4) Green-fle(;ke(l fusion-breccia of felsopliyre. The main mass consists of microfelsitic 

 substance showing flnidal structure with insets of crystals of hornblende, corroded quartz, and 

 feldsx)ars; the last is also remarkciUij conoded like the iiorphyritic (luirtz. It seems to me to 

 represent the green breccia of the Upper Kyöng-sang formation.
