Proceeding southward from the point formed by the pillow-form lava and agglomerates, the latter are seen to be under-laid by thin-bedded tuffs dipping northward at angles varyingfrom 15° to 17°. At the base of these tuffs there is a band ofrubbly coralline limestone from 8in. to 12 in. thick, containingangular fragments of basalt up to 8 in. in diameter.
