THE VALAIS. 
1 2g 
The next figure (Fig. 1 1 4) represents a section 
from north-north-east to south-south-west. 
This “lying fold” is a remarkable case of com- 
plete inversion. 
The chain of Argenti^re between, but somewhat 
west of, the Diablerets and the Haut de Cry is 
formed of vertical Urgonian strata, and when seen 
in profile, seems sharp as a knife edge. At the Lion 
d’Argenti^re , so-called from a fancied resemblance 
to a couching lion, the strata are also inverted, so 
that the summit is formed by reversed Urgonian 
resting on Neocomian, Nummulitic, and Flysch. 
Nearer to, and more conspicuous from, the Valais 
is another great rock wall, that of the Haut de Cry.
