perpendicular Cliff, formed by the upright Sides of 
the Pillars, fome of which I meafured, and found 
to be 33 Feet and 4 Inches in Height. They fay 
there are in all 74 different Sorts of Figures among 
them. Each Pillar conlids of feveral joints or 
Stones lying one upon another, from 6 Inches to 
about a Foot in Thicknefs : Some of thefe Joints are 
in the middle fo convex, as for thole Prominences 
to be nearly Quarters of Spheres, round each of 
which is a Ledge, upon which rhe Stones above 
them have relied, every Stone being concave on the 
under Side, and fitting in the exacted: manner upon 
that which lies next below it. The Pillars are 
from one to two Feet in Diameter, and confid mod 
commonly of about 40 Joints, mod of which fepa- 
rate very eafily, tho' fome others, which are more 
drongly indented into each other, cohere drongly 
enough to bear the being taken away in Pairs. 
But the Caufeway is not I think the mod lingular 
Part of this extraordinary Curiofity ; the Appearance of 
the Cliffs thcmfclvcs being yet tome more furpriling ; 
thefe and their feveral Strata I examined from the 
Rocks on the other Side of a little Bay, about half 
a Mile to the Ead of the Caufeway. I thence ob- 
ferved, that there runs all the Way a Stratum from 
the Bottom of black Stone, to the Height, as well as 
I could conjecture, of about 60 Feet, divided per- 
pendicularly at unequal Didanees by Stripes of a red- 
difh Stone, looking like Cement, and about 4 or y 
Inches in Thicknefs. Upon this there is another 
Stratum of the fame black Stone divided from it 
by a Stratum y Inches thick of the red. Over this 
another Stratum of Stone ten Feet thick divided 
in the fame manner ; then a Stratum of the red 
Stone twenty Feet deep ? and above that a Stratum
