Remains of Petrified Trees at Fifty Mile Cape Hill
A fragmentary natural curiosity describes an avenue of petrified or vitrified trees near Pondicherry. The rocks resist acids and aqua fortis, emit a sulphur smell when rubbed, and reveal a barklike outer layer with iron ore interior. The area bears red sand soil and sparse shrubs, yielding chalk cinnabar and jasper in unknown quantities. The Naturalist sees a vast field for investigation and expects satisfying results.
