This full table is followed by another brief one, in which it is 
attempted to correlate the more important non-marine fossiliferous 
Peninsular rocks with their supposed marine representatives, and 
the latter with their European equivalents. 
As the results of this correlation are very interesting, and prob- 
ably very near the truth, this table is also reproduced. (See p. 89.) 
[Note to Table reproduced on p. 83.] “ The thickness of the different formations, 
has only been determined in a few instances ; so few that it is useless to quote them. 
The amounts are very great, the Tertiary rocks alone attaining a vertical development 
in places, as in Sind, of nearly 30,000 feet.”
