If it is crowned with a sparse growth of guava
brind and a few Oresquite trees, in other
places on't met any apparent change the plants
are essentially the Corlla cactus. Nearly
cryptogen immediately beneath the surface.
Caliche is supposed to exist, and certainly
from the origin arid it looks this away.
When one get tr Dial, 21 miles O.E. the
road goes through a series of sort of bad
lands topography but with the hills more rounded.
These are made up of slightly deformed, rather
late Pliocene nearly Pleistocene continental
deposits that are distinctly bedded, giving the
first impression that the climate was more
demid than ours. These are unfortunately
relating to my recent continental deposits.
After going through these dips for about
8 miles we come out upon a Precambrian
granite of any wider extent. This large
crystal pink granite, heals up readily into
an arkose of low and rounded hills.
