of CeYah-dagh, and crosses the Mendereh between the Trojan Plain
and the Plain of Eanedeh and Beiramitch.
The small patch of metamorphic rocks about nine kilometres
north-northeast from Behram consist chiefly of massive crystalline
limestone, usually white. It forms the cliffs of a gorge along the
small stream flowing from Ealesfahkee into the Touzla, and is asso-
ciated with mica schist, a portion of which is quite calcareous.
There are at least sixty metres of limestone overlain by the schist,
dipping 11° in an easterly direction. These are in turn surmounted
by the tertiary conglomerate, containing many fragments of the
strata upon which it reposes.
Northwest of Behram about nine kilometres, near Golfal, a small
exposure of metamorphic limestone and schists occurs in the Valley
of the Touzla. This locality is encircled by mountains of trachyte.
Upon the right bank of the stream, by the road from Behram to
Golfal, rises a hill composed chiefly of schists. A light-colored
quartzose and ferruginous mica schist overlies massive gray crys-
talline limestone, which upon its weathered surface is very irregular.
The strike of the schist is S. 700 E., its dip 300 northerly, and the
thickness of the mass about sixty metres. In the lower part of the
hill it varies from a light to a bright green color, frequently has an
unctuous feel, and consists of soft, flexible, but inelastic laminae.
The chloritic and talcose schists overlie limestone and quartzite,
both of which have occasionally a well-marked schistose structure.
The area about Sacar-kyah, near the western coast, a short dis-
tance northeast of the site of Larissa, contains a very thick, massive
limestone, which forms the bold cliffs of the mountain. Associated
with this are thinner crystalline limestones, interstratified with greatly
disturbed schists. These are well exposed west of Sacar-kyah, on
the road from the village of Tavaclee1 down to the sea-coast. The
path from the base of the mountain to Kiouseh-der^ssee crosses a
ridge of limestone, and affords one of the finest views to be obtained
along the ^Egean. Near Eski Stamboul, in the Lidjah Valley, is
a small exposure of highly contorted schists, from which issue the
several hot springs of that locality.
In the vicinity of Carah-dagh the metamorphic rocks occupy a
large territory, extending from the rugged peaks near the base of
Chigri-dagh, northeast across the Mendereh, towards the Sea of
of CeYah-dagh, and crosses the Mendereh between the Trojan Plain
and the Plain of Eanedeh and Beiramitch.
