 number of Litliodomi and Jouanettice, and corals of the Isis group. 



This upper tertiary ground is slightly higher than the level plain 

 of alluvium, extending along the coast and up to Jukow, nothing being 

 seen at the surface except rubbly, whitish, earthy rocks and incoherent 

 sandstones with a few harder calcareous layers. 



Sand-hills fringe the coast, and at one or two places recent concrete 

 is quarried from beneath high water-mark. 



The Vinjan and Sandan stream exposes much rock in its banks, 

 Vinjan and Sandan the upper tertiary beds undulating at very slight 

 angles towards the south, but having so little 

 individuality of character that they become difficult to identify exactly 

 where small breaks occur, being, however, quite recognizable as distinct 

 from the subjacent group. The following order is observed in ascending 

 the stream commencing at Sandan : —

 and a worn apex of a conical tooth. 

 There is a frequent appearance of unconformity among
