162 WYNNE : GEOLOGY OF KUTCH. [PART II. 



Some of the silicious granular varieties of the stone forming the 

 west side of the hill used formerly to be worked for Native cJmcIcis, or 

 mill-stones. 



Teombow coal locality. 

 This place having attracted some attention on account of the dis- 

 covery of a bed of coal, the substance of field-notes on the locality is 

 given separately. 



The meeta river, or branch of it which passes by Trombow, there, 

 and between that place and Chandrua hill, passes through a deep channel 



in white, yellow, variegated and ferruginous, coarse.

obliquely laminated, thick and thin bedded sand- 

 stone with some bands of grey shale, the whole having undulating dips 

 to the southward and south by east, averaging about 5°. The same 

 varieties of the upper Jurassic beds prevail to the south as far as the 

 Katrol Hills, the surface of the ground gently ascending, so that notwith- 

 standing numerous open undulations, the vertical thickness of the rocks 

 must be considerable, and, when the hills are included, probably amounts 

 to several hundred feet. From Trombow northwards the same general 

 southerly dip has been traced for about three miles to the marine 

 fossiliferous locality behind the outer ridge of the western portion of the 

 Lodaee and Joorun range, the rocks differing only in being more generally 

 thin-bedded with a greater preponderance of purple, reddish, and rusty 

 ferruginous bands such as are usually found intermediate between the 

 upper and lower parts of this series. For this long distance no fossils 

 could be found, and the indefinite line between the two groups has been 

 assumed to pass near the southern foot of the above-mentioned ridge. 



The succession, however, cannot be said to be unbroken, three 



parallel faults crossing the river from east to west

 As these faults all ' hade^ to the south at high angles, the presumption is,
