In an outhouse the walls facing N. W. and S. E. have fallen out- 

 wards. The N. E. face bulges outwards. 



In the kitchen, walls facing N. 60° E. bulge in that direction. 



In a godown the walls running N. 15° E. display strong fractures 

 the hade of which is to N. at 5° to 20°. Two partition walls in this 

 direction have fallen chiefly to E. The north face has fallen outwards. 



This is a single-story building aligned N. E. — S. W. It is built on 

 hard quart zite, and is badly constructed of irregular 

 blocks of shale and quartzite with mud mortar. 

 It is now a complete ruin. On the N. W. face the verandah has col- 

 lapsed and a portion of the main wall has fallen outwards. Wing 

 walls coursing N. W.— S. E. have separated \\ inches from walls at 

 right angles. Strong cracks run through the building on a N. E. — S. W. 

 course, the hade being usually to N. E. at 20°.
