Not illustrated. 1890 Excerpt: ...and south of it, there is everywhere a low escarpment of coral-rock, generally from 20 to 80 feet high; this is the border of the highest terrace or plateau of coral-limestone, and the escarpment is its weathered edge, which has been cut back by the action of rain and streams; from its original boundary line, wbicb lay along the ridge above indicated and thinned off on the western slopes of Mount Hillaby, it has receded to its present position. On Spring Estate and below Spring Head there is again a more precipitous slope and a greater thickness of the coral-rock. Thence the escarpment runs northward to Prospect and Farley Hill, beyond which it trends to the north-east, sinking to lower and lower levels by Cherry Tree Hill and Mount Stepney down to the sea at Pico Teneriffe, the conformation of its northern extremity presenting similar features to that of its southern end near St. Mark's. Within the area of the Scotland district there is very little coralrock: isolated reefs appear to have been formed from time to time on the slopes and ridges of this area, but probably they were always of small extent, and as the detritive action of rain and running water has been greater in this district than in any other part of the island, only small portions of them have escaped destruction. The largest patch caps the end of the ridge on which Bawdens is situate at a level of 389 feet, and there is a little patch (too small to be shown on the map) on the same ridge to the southward by Lower Turners Hall at a height of 462 feet; these are the highest outliers we discovered, but isolated blocks as big as cottages are not unfrequent at intervals along the slopes of the valleys in the parish of St. Andrew's, about the level of 300 feet.
