MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 17T 



and this shows a general idea of the section A to B : — 



Section from j\ toJ3. (rough ) F/g J7. 



The high Katrol range backs the scene, lying a mile or more behind A and 

 a long succession of jutting ledges of outcrops — hollowed here and there 

 into deep depressions — leads you down steadily to the dark brown rocks of 

 the lower Katrol strata, next to which you step on to the low yellowish D. O. 

 ridge, whence a long flat slopeover soft Athleta and anceps beds brings you 

 to the hard slabs of the Sub-Anceps beds which have proved less suscept- 

 ible to weathering and rise in a slope to some 60 feet overlooking the plain. 



An examination of the lie of the strata shows that the beds on the West 

 of the hill near Ler dip outwards. Whether they curve right round along 

 the North side, I cannot say : any how the surface shows that they spread out 

 for some distance North- West of the hill belore the white sandstone of the 

 plain is encountered : and there are plenty of slabs of Anceps-crimson 

 (marbled with shells) to be found on the tields North of the hills. So I am 

 inclined to believe that here again jou have a full anticline which if faulted 

 at all is not faulted along the crest of the hills. 



Just North-East of the point A, there are quarries of white grey stone 

 which is not usual along this range : it may be a deposit of the Sub-Recent 

 Concrete which the Revd. J. F. Blake described in the Q. J., Geol. Soc, 

 May 1897, attributing its formation to the agency of wind. 



Now as to the contents of the ground sketched. The inside of the 

 hollow tooth of the two Sub-Anceps hills has just under the crimson-brown 

 rocks of its shell a layer of what I call false conglomerate — a dense 

 yellowish pavement With broad flat round-edged concretions of bulb crimson, 

 and white ingrained. This bed is fairly constant also along the Ler- 

 Hamundra Ellipse and the vanguard ridges of the Fahirwadi belt. It 

 contains several belemnites — too cracked or broken for identification : also 

 Ostrcsa and CucuUcea. But so far I have not picked up any ammonites 

 on these two Sub-Anceps Ler Hills. 



The Anceps beds lying in the long broad hollow below (South of) the hills,, 

 produce a thin flat very-evolute Perisjyhinctes, akin to Balinensis, I should 

 judge, a fairly perfect specimen. A similar one I found in the Sub-Anceps 

 beds of the Ler-Hamundra Ellipse ; and also another in Athleta beds 

 along Fakirwadi. I cannot find any of Waagen's specimens which agree 

 with these. Perisph. obtusicosta also appears : two specimens of what 

 might be angygaster except for width of. umbilicus, and a smaller speci- 

 men of the Obtusicostati subgenus. Of this class I may here say that 

 Athleta and Anceps beds produce very numerous specimens, many in 

 excellent preservation. Some may be Waagen's omjihaloder or dJiosaensis 

 or angggaster; but the great majority clearly difter. In some in which the 

 suture is visible the auxiliaries do not trend largely apicad as in Waagen's 

 obtusicosta and angygaster but run down fairly straight; yet in ornament 

 they agree only with Waagen's Obtusicostati sub-genus. Some have
