 posed granite of a lifjht reddish colour. Granite very hard and with quartt apparent fy predo- 

 minating protrudes at seme places- It u covered by small parallel veins qt Griwrev running 

 E. and W. and SE. and N\Y. The faces of two or iVie blocks are very slightly grooved. 

 In the soil are some pieces of altered rock like iHohc which abound on many hit In i& 

 Sinyfiptm- , and which I had considered altered granite. One piece which I picked up is 

 quite calcined to appearance like the or di nary scoriae of S<iu$npar&s 



On, or rather in front of ? the beach and within the influence of the tide j there are 

 large blocks of various srus and from -0 to 3 or A feet in height. On the beach behind 

 them arc smaller rocks, and. further in large blocks again r projecting from the soil of the
