Here they rested, however, on volcanic soil.

This quaint, primitive little town iable extent eastward toward the deep ocean, while further inland their trend is more regular and due North and South. . . . I had almost forgotten to say that I have obtained unquestionable evidence of the cretaceous age of the coal deposits of Lota and the adjoining localities, north and south, which are generally supposed to be tertiary lignites. They are overlaid by sandstone containing Baculites! I need not adduce other evidence to satisfy geologists of the correctness of my assertion.
