HORNELL—MARINE RESOURCES 11 Northern Coast.—As already noticed, tlie shore of Okhamandal washed liy the Gulf of Kutch is much more varied in physical and faunistic characters than is the western or ocean coast. According to the different ;ieal features of the littoral, we may conveniently treat the various sections under heads, as follows :— (a) Adatra coast facing Beyt Island, (6) The steep western and southern shores of Beyt Island, (c) The rocky islets in Beyt Harbour, (d) Aramra and Kin shores, (e) Balapur and Rann Bays, (/) Flat-surfaced reefs submerged at high tide—Chiudi, Hanuman Dandi, Mangunda, Borio, & Eio. 3.—Types of Pontes coral growth, Adatra littoral. («) Adatra.—This locaUty is that part of the Ukha peninsula north of Aramra Creek. It is a bjwdying tableland of gritty coral limestone. From a point opposite the town of Beyt and thence southwards towards Aramra Creek, the eastern side is fringed with an extensive stretch of reef-like littoral gradually sloping to extreme low-water mark. The tide-race through the narrow channel of Beyt Harljour furnishes ample supply of food particles, and as this end of the harbour is kept free from mud.
