distance: as the road passes between the two 
hills, I had a good opportunity of examining it 
with care. When observed a far off, it appears 
to consist of several massive rocks which rise 
almost perpendicular from an extensive base:

spots on the declivicies are covered with shrubi 
and plarts. 
prismatic or rhomboidal fragments, alternated 
iu many places nodules of the same substance 
consisting of concentric layers. 
- The aggregate of the various masses on this 
side, constituted a stupendous wall, the comp. 
ment particles of which, moie or less regular in 
themselves, were irregularly piled on each 
other, the alternate portions projecting and re- 
tiring from a perpendicular line.
