As at Chilole hill, we have igneous rocks, apparently trap, capped with masses of beautiful white dolomite.

We still ascend in altitude as we go westwards, and come upon long tracts of gneiss with hornblende.

The gneiss is often striated, all the striae looking one way--sometimes north and south, and at other times east and west.

These rocks look as if a stratified rock had been nearly melted, and the strata fused together by the heat.

From these striated rocks have shot up great rounded masses of granite or syenite, whose smooth sides and crowns contain scarcely any trees, and are probably from 3000 to 4000 feet above the sea.
