250 J. C. BKAXNER OUTLINES OF THE GEOLOGY OF BRAZIL 



Eio Mucury and in Lagoa Jnparana, where the underlying granite is 

 exposed. 



The Tertiary belt is about eighty kilometers wide at Sao Matheus, near 

 the north end of the state^ and narrows to a width of about twenty kilo- 

 meters at the south end, while at several points between, notably at Bene- 

 vente and at Victoria, these Tertiary sediments have been completely 

 removed by denudation. 



About the mouth of Eio Doce is a large area of swampy lands that 

 should probably be regarded as recent alluvial deposits rather than Plio- 

 cene. 



Economic geology. — But little is known of the mineral resources of the 

 State of Espirito Santo. Eocks of the Brazilian complex cover most of 

 the State, and within that area many of the minerals common to Brazil 

 have been found. Friese reports finding wolframite in the Serra dos 

 Aymores north of the Eio Doce. Monazite sands are found along certain 

 parts of the sea beaches north of Victoria. Limestones (probably mar- 

 bles) are said to cover a considerable area in tlie Valley of Eio Castello. 



Geologic Map of Espirito Santo 



Pissis, 1842. — The map accompanjdng the Memoire sur la position 

 geologique des terraines de la partie australe du Bresil, par M. A. Pissis, 

 Paris, 1842, includes the geology of the entire State of Espirito Santo. 

 The map is on a scale of 1 to 2,500,000, but it does not show evidences of 

 much work done in the State of Espirito Santo.
