116 APPENDIX II. 



B. This island has but two tall and seven smaller cocoauut trees growing on it. 



C. Many shifted cakes of the breccia-capping above and on the platform floor. 



D. The Hattish stones that mainly compose these beaches are generally inclined to the sea, but the 

 stones in the breccia lie at various angles, and in any direction, the majority approaching the horizontal. 

 A large form of MonUpora ( % sp. ) coral up to 6 feet in diameter is interbedded among the breccia as it grew. 

 It is scarcely injured at all, and l)ut little weathered, and is but slightly inclined to the sea. It appears 

 to have grown during the deposition of the breccia cap, to have then Ijeen covered and protected by it, till 

 the progress of erosion has again partially uncovered it as it is now. 



D^. Large dead flat corals, in »Uii, among the breccia, distinctly in a better state of preservation than 

 the main mass of the breccia. 



E. Heliopora seen here, emljedded nearly- all over the luider side of large overturned masses of the 

 breccia. 



F. Alternate layers of coarse and fine sandstone, dip 9° to basin, i.e., approximately south. 



FUNAFAKA (Plate 6). 



A. A little new coral l»eing thrown up here with portions of the eroded breccia cap lying on the 

 platform. 



B. The usual Ijreccia l)locks arc thrown up here with smaller rubble. 



C. The breccia rampart along here presents a very broken line, having re-entering angles and outlying 

 rugged pinnacles at short intervals. In the spaces between the projections there is a more or less smooth 

 floor and steep 1)each, with rolled fragments, the former presenting short and bold, steep, vertical, or 

 overhanging clifl'-like headlands to the ocean. 



D. I'arifcA ])lock, 10 feet Ijy 6 feet by 4 feet, on or piercing breccia. 



E. Path to Funafaru village. 



F. Small solution area or swamp. 



G. Masses of breccia, but not usually so high as at Telele. 



H. Mass of Goniddriva fuvidella on or piercing the breccia cap, in situ. Size 7 feet by 6 feet by 

 6 feet 6 inches above high water. 



J. New fragments of Helinpora seen in several i>laces here. 



K. j\Iass of breccia, with several small broken corals on top, cemented in the mass, apparently in dlu. 



L. Boss of Poriks, 6 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet, above the ))reccia, and embedded on top of the breccia 

 cap or piercing it, probably in situ. 



M. Breccia showing an irregular Ijedding, with dip 1 in 12, at about right angles to shore line. 



N. Big mass of breccia well up on beach, 12 feet by 9 feet by 6 feet, above high water, showing 

 bedding plane 1 foot above high water, and apparently in situ ; some small corals on top, also apparently 

 in situ. 



0. Boss of J'wi^t's, 5 feet by 5 feet by 1 foot 6 inches, above the outer platform floor. 



P. Coarse angulai' blocks of breccia up to 3 feet in diameter, torn up from the corrosion zone, and now 

 forming an outer rugged addition to the Hurric;uie Bank. 



Q. The breccia on the lagoon side al>out this end of the island partakes of the nature of sandstone, being 

 formed of sand, shingle, and small rubble. 



E. Boss of Pontes, .5 feet l)y 5 feet by 1 foot G inches, above lagoon platform. 



S. Dead luillipore fragments a))Out here. 



T. All along liere there are breccia projections, with occasional streaks of beach sand, between them 

 and the storm, or small Hurricane Bank. 



U. Headlands of breccia with l)ays Ijetween; streaks of sand and sub-angular coral gravel constitute 

 the beach here.
