160 WYNNE: GEOLOGY OF KTTTCH. [pART II. 



of the country is occupied by superficial ferruginous deposits wMch may 

 have been formed from the waste of lateritic beds in situ further east. 

 Just to the west of the above named village, a little pale sandstone of 

 coarse texture and greenish tone projects from the plain, its relations 

 being obscure, but it probably belongs to the ill-defined sub-trappean 

 grit group. 



Further west, the coarse, upper Jurassic, white and ferruginous 

 beds are seen, and in the neighbourhood of Pudder, 



Pudder. 



small nullahs show coarse gravelly and earthy 

 alluvial ' rain wash.' White sandstone and highly ferruginous, sili- 

 cious and conglomeritie sandstones, much distm-bed, are crossed by a 

 long dyke of dull blackish and weathered trap at Reytree to the south- 

 south-east; the trap, including masses of sandstone, considerably altered. 

 Thence to the foot of the Katrol hills, ferruginous and white sandstones 

 with a general southerly dip are occasionally seen in the nuUahs. 



In the neighbourhood of Kokma and Bhoojooree, the white quartz- 



ose gravelly sandstones and ferruginous beds are 



violently contorted, sometimes completely vertical, 



striking east 20° north, but nearer to the Katrol fault dipping to the 



south by east. 



In a stream south-south-east of Bhoojooree are some fine white 

 shaly and sandy beds containing numerous specimens oi , Palixozamia, 

 Jjycopoiites cutchensis, Morris, CunningJiamites (?), and other plants. 



Here a long section in the rocks is exposed, but their succession is 

 confused by oblique slips and cross-bedding. Further south, near the 

 village of Lair, the -white upper beds are obscurely associated with 

 some of the sub-trappean grits. These occur again about a mile distant 

 to the north-north-east, dipping at 30° to the south and south-south- 

 west. They are laminated here, and seem to have derived the trappean 

 materials either from partial disintegration of trap rocks or from con- 

 temporaneous deposition in the form of ash.
