numberlefs rattle-fnakes, of which we hap- 

 pily faw none at all. The (hore is very 

 full of flones in feme places, and covered 

 with large angulated rock-ftones, which are 

 fometimes roundifh, and their edges as it 

 were worn off. Now and then we met 

 with a fmall fandy fpot, covered with 

 grey, but chiefly with the fine red fand 

 which I have before mentioned ; and the 

 black iron fand likewife occurred fome- 

 times. We found flones of a red glimmer 

 of a fine texture, on the mountains. Some- 

 times thefe mountains with the trees on 

 them flood perpendicular with the water- 

 fide, but in feme places the fhore was 

 marfhy. 



I SAW a number of pctrefied Cornua 

 Ammonis in one place, near the fhore, among 

 a number of flones and rocks. The rocks 

 confifl of a grey limeflione, which is a va- 

 riety of the black one, and lies in flrata^ 

 as that does. Some of them contain a 

 number of petrefadions, with and without 

 fliells ; and in one place we found pro- 

 digious large Cor?2ua Ammonis^ about twen- 

 ty inches in breadth. In fome places the 

 water had wore off the uone, but could 

 not have the fame effedt on the petrefac- 

 tions, which lay elevated above, and in a 

 manner glued on the flones.
