Section 7. — The Chaewah and Katrol Range.* 

 This range evidently owes its origin to a fault accompanied by 

 TheCbarwar and Katrol '"o'^ut dislocation of the Strata along its northern 

 ^'^^^' foot, combined with a complicated anticlinal struc- 



ture, the fault having permitted a general subsidence of the nearly 

 horizontally-bedded rocks of the plain to the north, and the anticlinal 

 curvature, with undulating axis, to the south, aiding the beds on that 

 side to assume the hilly form. 



From an inspection of the map it will become evident that the 

 amount of displacement caused by this fault must 



Its throw. 



■ equal the maximum height of the northern escarp- 

 ment of the range, formed almost entirely of lower rocks, plus the thick- 

 ness of the upper group to the south, together vnth that of a portion of 

 the super-incumbent traps represented by their outliers immediately 

 north of the fault. 



The unconformity between the traps and the Jurassic groups, 

 rendering the thickness of the latter to some extent uncertain, affects 

 the accuracy with which the amount of throw can be stated, but this 

 may be fairly estimated at 2,500 feet, supposing the lower part of the 

 Jurassic rocks to be an extension of those to the northward. 



At the eastern extremity of the Charwar and Katrol range, the 

 ground is low and undulating, with a few small 



Vicinity of Anjar. 11. , i-ni- ji pa- 



peaks, the highest hills lying south 01 Anjar and 



being connected rather with the Dora Hills by broken and ridgy ground. 



The plains south-east, east, and north-east of Anjar are occupied by 



alluvium and some underlying deposits, consisting of mottled red and 



* This and its extension to the west is called in Captain MaeMnrdo's writings the 

 Lukhi chain, a name, however, which we have never heard applied to it in the country. 

 The detailed description of its eastern portion is mainly taken from Mr. Fedden's notes.
