352 JOURNEY TO ANAMBARUIN-ULA.
In the pass of Scho-ovo-tu we found grey granite, splendidly exposed, but with an indistinct dip, though a little way north of the pass it appeared to be bedded 58° N. Next followed a schist resembling diorite and dipping 5° to the S. 45° W., and after that grey granite again. At Dundu-buluk there was gneiss or striped
auger-granite, dipping 73° towards the N. 8o° W. North of Tschan-tsen-davan there is a district known, it is said, as Tavun-buluk. If the name may be trusted — the word means the Five Springs — it would seem to be that of a northern glen, equivalent to the glen of Scho-ovo-tu, and like it possessing several springs.
