At this point the line, unites with line F. Total length of line, 

 83,800 feet.

1 The Ravenswood granodiorite has been proven by later explorations to 

 extend into the territory here marked as too little known to classify. 



As a group it is especially noticeable that the new lines F, G, H, 

 I, have a very much lower percentage of contact zones and lime- 

 stone. The percentages of gneisses have been notably increased, 

 and the unknown and questionable formations have been reduced 

 to approximately the lowest terms.
