PLATE VI 



Fig. 14 (top). South from the summit of the shore-cliflfs, Plaja 

 Djerimi (C17b), northwestern Curagao. The foreground shows the 

 typical, honey-combed exposures of the older limestone; acacias are 

 especially prominent at the very edge of the cliffs. The background 

 illustrates the very narrow zone of limestone, with the high, undercut 

 shore-cliffs, along the western shore of northern Cura(;;ao. At the right 

 and in the distant background are the higher hills of older rocks, with 

 indistinct, fossil beaches on their slopes. 



Fig. 15. Pos Baca (Bel), southern Bonaire. This is one of the 

 larger, shallow sink-holes in the recent limestone. Most of the fore- 

 ground is bare, due to intermittent flooding, but the background shows 

 the same kind of eountiy that is illustrated by the next figure. 



Fig. 16 (bottom). Southern Bonaire (Bl). The brush in the back- 

 ground is characteristic of the better protected portions of tlie low plains 

 of recent limestone, south of Kralendijk and on Klein-Bonaire (Kl). 

 The crotons are especially conspicuous. The foreground is flooded during 

 heavy rains.
