PUTCHUM PEER UlLL. 



The highest hill in Kutch. 



PART II. 



Detailed Descriptions. 

 As the most convenient form of conveying detailed information 

 relating to the various localities in Kutch, advantage will be taken of the 

 natural arrangement of the formations into more or less east and west 

 beltsj coinciding with the features of the country, taking in such de- 

 tached portions of different groups as by reason of their place may be 

 readily included. Thus it is proposed to commence at the nortli with the 

 Parkur syenite, &o., then to follow the island range from the Putchum 

 eastward, returning through Wagur to the Jurassic tract of west Kutch 

 along the northern watershed, and concluding with the country which 

 sends its streams to the southward. The bedded traps being everywhere 

 very similar, it will suffice to include their description in detail with that 

 of the adjacent country on either side.
