than 9 indies^ and iuclude A. fissus and some other species belonging 

 to Steplianoceras and FerispJiinctes (Waagen) indicating lower Oxfordian 

 types. Fragments of the woody plants measured 2 inches across and 

 more than a foot in length. Overlying these beds are calcareous sand- 

 stones and white arenaceous bands of limestone having the same general 

 dip as the whole section^ i. e., to the northwards at about Z", and showing 

 themselves for half a mile or so still further down the stream. Just 

 to the west of this fossil locality^ the dip changes suddenly to the west 

 at 25°j and the beds abut against a mass of trap ranging north and 

 south some two hundred yards or more in width. Within this space are 

 several varieties af basaltic^ dark, greenish-gray, olive, pale-gray, crys- 

 talline and soft decomposing trap. 



Between this intrusion and the village of Trummo an abrupt hill 

 of no great height is composed of white sandstone

nearly horizontal with two zones of massive gray 

 and bluish quartzite closely resembling that of Vittrooe hill, the results 

 probably of contact with the trap at the time of its intrusion. South- 

 west of this hill the northerly dip again prevails, and beds of hard, fine 

 red, yellow, and variegated grit contain numbers of Nucula cuneiformis, 

 Triffoiiice, Gervillea, Osirea, Grypliaa, and traces of Ammonites. 



Westward from this to the termination of the hilly ground near 

 Chobaree, the hills present long and gentle slopes

passmg away beneath the Runn and low alluvial 

 margin of the district, the beds dipping with the ground at angles of 

 a°, 3°, or 5°, and forming in the vicinity of Kuntkote and Kagnora, and 

 thence to near Munfurra, a broken, but strongly marked, escarpment. 

 The aspect of the ground, and also of the rocks, consisting of hard, close- 

 grained light colored sandstones or grits, calcareous in places, unite 

 to produce a strong general resemblance to the Kurreer portion of the 

 Runn Island chain. Shales occur, but not frequently, except below the
