JOURNEYS THROUGH KOREA. 121 



but afterwards to the S.E. The complex makes a slow antichne, 

 and stratigraphically it corresponds to the Chjcmg-sowj bed first 

 discovered by C. Gottsche^". 



From Man-imd-kocm on the high-road "^ Yabe marched east- 

 wards on a country road over the same marly and green 

 tufaceous rocks with the same strike, but dipping in a south- 

 easterly direction, overlaid by a strong bed of the Mesozoic con- 

 glomerate near Chln-an, and presenting a remarkable erosion form 

 looking, when seen from a distance, like a pair of erect pony's 

 ears (PI. XXVIIl. fig. 2, and PI. XXIX fig. 1); hence the name 

 Mal-i-san'^\ It is regarded as a secred double peak and is well 

 known among the natives, like the Tertiary conglomerate of 

 Kalabaka in Thessalia. 



I shall touch the eumnäl, Chin-an, in my next trip (page 125). 



Comparing Mr. Yabe's specimens with mine from other re- 

 gions, I am forced to the conclusion that tlie principal mem- 

 bers — (1) the red tuffite, (2) the black marl and green tuffite, 

 and (3) the sheet of porphyrite (PI. XXXIV. Profile AB, Nos. 

 1, 2, 3) of the Upper Kyöng-sang formation are all 

 represented in this spatulate area, though it is impossible 

 for me to give cartographical expression to this opinion. 



KOAN PASS 



After this short digression, we shall now quit the pro- 



Chyönq-jyu 



vincial capital Chj'6ng-jgii (PI. XXVII. figs. 1 and 2), and contmue to 

 the diary of our journey toward Chin-an. Our road led eastwards 

 through spurs of hills of the sericite-L«^e?igneiss and the epidote- 

 injection-gneiss (the strike N. 60^' E., the dip N.W.), already 

 referred to as occurring on the west of the town. They are 

 variously faulted at right-angles to the strike (N.W.-S.E.). We
