variations from this record are to be noted along 

 the shore but in them all a prevailing west- 

 southwestward direction can be seen and a 

 northwesterly dip, sufficient to project the rock 

 strata, could they be replaced, into reconstructed 

 formations lying far higher than the summits of 

 the (31ympic mountains, away from which they 

 slope. 



In places the rocks are greatly crushed, the 

 lamina' are displaced and the inclination to the 

 horizon shows frequent variations. Here and 

 there the rocks have yielded to a lateral crump- 

 ling until now tliey consist of a mass of slabs 

 and small fragments closely packed together. 

 Locally, a cementing has bound the fragments 

 together with all the firmness of the original 

 rock. 



Passing to the westward of the Station by 

 crossing the sand beach, this same rock series 

 comes again into view after being hidden for 

 many paces. Its surface is even more ragged

 Johnson cabin. A smaller proportion of silica 

 characterizes the chemical content of the rock,
