the upper portion of the section to the east. To the east of Chitrore 

 are red variegated sandstones and shales, and gray and brown shales 

 alternating with red yellow and gray flags full of small plant fragments. 

 In the gray shales a few obscure shells (? CucuUea or Ampliidesma) , were 

 observed, and among pale red flaggy sandstone and red flags, olive when 

 weathered, associated with coarse purplish granular sandstone, some frag- 

 ments of Ammonites and timber were found. 



Similar rocks with perhaps more sandy shales occupy the country 

 from this to Rahpoor with here and there fantastic masses of soft ferru- 

 ginous yellow sandstone full of harder veins. A long dyke of dark 

 basaltic trap crosses the country north of Chitrore, striking towards 

 Badurgud, and is probably continuous with one observed near Kuntkote. 

 At the village of Syee are some peculiar projecting masses of silicious 

 haBmatitic sandstone weathering into large grotesque spheroidal forms. 



The conical hill of Vittrooe with an elevation of 270 feet (above 

 its immediate base, by aneroid,) is the most con-

spieuous feature in this part of the country. It 

 is chiefly composed of thick, soft sandstone resting upon some 50 feet of 

 shales and sandy flags and capped by massive white silicious indurated 

 and largely columnar beds, the material of which has a striking resem- 

 blance to metamorphic quartzite. The same rock also caps Suttorea 

 hill to the east. 



From Vittrooe hill a set of basaltic decomposed trap dykes passes 

 through the country to the northwards, traversing soft, yellowish and red 

 sandstones, which occasionally contain a few Ammonites, Belemnites, 

 and bivalve shells, some layers of the peculiar compressed concre- 

 tionary ferruginous rock before mentioned (p. 115), and one of shelly 

 limestone, also occurring in the country north of the hill. 



About Badurgud are soft, brown sandstones, generally overlying 

 flags and light colored shales. They undulate at
