SEC. 7.] THE CHAEWAR AND KATROL RANGE. 189 



Near this^ above the right bank of the stream, the upper beds are again 

 greatly disturbed and faulted, and patches of the infra-trappean grits 

 re-appear and can be traced nearly down to Khaira. Hereabouts the 

 usual upper Jurassic rocks prevail, and the height to which they ascend 

 in the face of the trap escarpment to the westward exhibits the irregu- 

 larity of the surface upon which its flows were laid down. 



On the north side of the old fort of Kaira a small patch of rough, 

 coarse, ferruginous sandstone, two or three feet

 cylindrical casts of large monocotyledonous plant-stems, resembling

rock was observed, consisting of tough, compact, 

 flaggy shale, impregnated by green earth, and containing a narrow band 

 of compact or finely-crystalline yellow limestone, brecciated in places, 

 enclosing small fragments of finely- amy gdaloidal zeolitic trap. It has 

 no great extent, is but a foot or two in thickness, and appears to be 

 quite local. The amygdaloidal flows in the neighbourhood are indefinite 

 and irregular, and some compact basalt among them is porphyritic.

 their more frequent occurrence might have been expected.
