Sinai, grey granite dyked with decaying porphyritic trap, and everywhere veined with white and various-coloured quartzes.

The ruddy syenite is dyked and veined by the familiar network of green-black porphyritic trap; the filons are disposed in parallels striking north-south, with a little easting; the dip is westerly (about 35 degrees mag.), and the thickness extends to hundreds of feet, often forming a foundation for the upper cliff.

From the bank we could see all along the coast-line, which is dyked continuously, as I have already said.
