The east end of the south coast line, between the mouth of Hector's River and Bowden, was not examined, and we cannot from personal knowledge say whether or not the Soboruco exists there. None was seen on the south coast from Bowden to old Port Eoyal west of Kingston. Our traverses between Annatto Bay and Falmouth on the north side were mostly through the back coast country, and did not immediately approach the sea except at Port Maria, St. Ann Bay, and between St. Ann Bay and Runaway Bay, but the Jamaican Reports, in the discus- sions of the parishes of Metcalfe, St. Mary, and St. Ann, under the head of "Coast Limestone," give good descriptions of the Soboruco at many points along this stretch. One mile west of Port Maria a very small patch of Soboruco abuts against the foot of the great bluff of Richmond beds shown on Plate XXITI. Tliis old reef stands about ten feet above the sea, and is cut by waves into detached islets, specimens of which are shown on Plates XXX. and XXXL The material consists of coral heads, of which some were over three feet in length and had to be blasted away by the road builders. Between St. Ann Bay and Runaway Bay, nine miles to the west of Port Maria, there is a narrow ribbon of coast plain abutting against a back^fround of the flint-bearintr Montpelier beds.
