P. Rumena & Lavapie. — Between these points for a length of about 8 miles, the land which had formed even plains, became [southern] higher & much broken: The cliffs were of same constitution, but the strata, instead of being horizontal, were all inclined at ∠ 40° to about from SSE to S — They were very even — Three principal ridges were thus composed which might be traced someway in the country — There were others less apparent. I think at least 8 or 9 lines of elevation. — On the east extremity

of this E & W band of disturbance, the strata were less incline not more perhaps than 20° — There was no trace of anticlinal dip. — There is clearly an analogous case with that of Chiloe. We see in the tertiary period bands of upheaval have both run N & S & E E W. in like manner as grand the secondary E & W mountain chains have been shown to do (between Andes & Pacific): — The form surface of land I have said entirely follow follows in its shape these lines of elevations:

it is also remarkable as clearly forming the this most projecting headland part of the coast. — In this respect also it is fact we have also seen it on the Is^d of S. Maria. — All tertiary. —
