moraine of the glacier a granite, and from the right one a " number 

 of rocks similar to those of the Bagrot Valley." Thus it would 

 seem as if dioritic or doleritic rock or some modified form of either, 

 extends over a large area along 1 and east of the Nomal Valley north 

 of the Gilgit River. The strike below Nagyr is 10 E. of S.E., dip 

 northerly 75, but south of Hopar the strikes vary from 5 S. of 

 S.E., dip southerly 30 (recorded at more than one place), to 7 S. of 

 E.S.E., dip southerly 50. Along the Shallihuru glacier, at and 

 above Mir Camp, come a ffine-grained gneiss, a fcrushed mica schist, 

 a fcalcareous mica schist, a flimestone breccia (left bank), and from 

 the Dasskaram Needle a ffine-gmined gneiss, and a fmica schist with 

 secondary mica (two varieties). A fine-grained gneiss is recorded as 

 common in the Mir Moraine, and said by Mr. Conway to correspond 

 with that on the " Trough Saddle." The strikes along the valley 

 and on Dasskaram Needle vary from 5 S. of S.S.E. to 15 E. of S.E., 

 the dips being south-westerly from 75 to 85. From the Samaiyar 

 Bar glacier come a crushed mica schist (left side), and a crushed calc 

 schist (right moraine). The Rash ridge on the right bank of the 

 Barpn glacier was climbed in more than one place. The eastern 

 part consists of a fgarnetiferous gneiss, f crystalline limestone, and a 

 fnrica diorite forming all the upper part of the ridge; the more 

 western part of fgarnetiferous gneiss and (?) |kinzigite,t micaceous 

 gneiss, fbanded gneiss, and a fdiorite (" forming a thin vein at tho 

 top of the ridge "). The ridge must thus consist very largely of 

 gneissic rocks, which, however, are pressure-modified igneous rocks. 

 The strike is recorded as from 10 to 25 S. of S.E., the dips varying, 

 those above Barpu Camp being southerly 30 to 60. 



In ascending by the long Hispar glacier to the pass of the same 

 name the following rocks were collected : on Shukurri, near the foot 

 of the glacier, a ffine-grained gneiss, also abundant in the moraine, 

 and a tmicaceous gneiss (left bank) ; and on the right (nearly three- 

 fifths of the way up) a fgranite, which, according to Mr. Conway, is 

 common down the right moraine, and considerably higher up (camp 

 by Hispar Snowfield) a fmicaceons gneiss. The strikes vary from 

 2 E. of E.S.E. to 10 S. of E.S.E. ; the dips recorded from the lower 

 part of the glacier, on the left bank, are vertical and 75 southerly, 

 from the upper part, right bank, vertical and 60 northerly. The 

 loose specimens are (in fallen blocks) from the right bank blow 

 Shnkurri a micaceous gneiss, from the left, on Haigutum slopes, a 

 banded gneiss (common) : also a sandstone characteristic of the 

 moraine of the Kero Lumba glacier, and from the right moraine a 

 fine-grained gneiss (common). Evidently the rocks on either side 

 of this huge Hispar glacier are crystalline, but an infolded mass of 

 comparatively unaltered sedimentaries must exist somewhere among 

 the peaks to the south.
