Observations on the Geology of' the Meywar District. By James 

 Hardie, Esq. Member of the Medical and Physical Socie- 

 ties of Calcutta. * Communicated by the Author. 



Meywar is included between the latitudes 26° and 24° north, 

 and longitudes 73^° and 75 J° east. 



The country, towards the south, is extremely hilly ; and this 

 portion of it includes the Bheel jungles, and the small district of 

 Kurrock. Towards the north, there are plains of large extent, 

 from the surface of which are seen rising several ranges of hills 

 and detached mountains. These rise abruptly from the sur- 

 face ; and there is scarcely such a thing as a deep valley, or, in- 

 deed, a valley properly so called, in the whole of this portion of 

 the district. There is one principal range of mountains which 

 traverses the whole of the western part of Meywar. It commen- 

 ces high up in the district of Ajmeer, and proceeds southward 

 till it is lost in the gauts north of the Vindyan range. Besides 



• Captain Dangerfield's report on the Geology of Malwah, in the appendix 

 to Sir John Malcolm's Memoir of Central India, includes also an account of 

 the geology of a part of the Meywar district ; and his small geological map 

 will assist our readers in understanding Mr Hardie's obsenrations.
