Cleavage 5 in Venezuela ?1 a1. a2 (a) From what I have seen of similar formations, these I can feel no doubt that the strata planes of (so called) stratification in the gneiss granite. mica slate c are parallel with the laminae of those slaty rocks. Indeed the expressions, direction of the layers would almost point out this identity. We next proceed to Brazil. At Bahia, where the constitution of the rocks appears to be very similar to that of Columbia Guyana, the direction of the strata layers
