210 WYNNE : GEOLOGY OF KTJTCH. [PAUT II. 



Some 10 feet of the sandstone was visible in vertical section, and 

 although one ferruginous bed appeared quite the same as many in the 

 Jurassic groups, the whole may very possibly belong to the infra- 

 trappean grits. 



Out in the plain, about a mile and a half to the north of Oogulree, 



,. . , „ . where the ground is rather broken, horizontal, 



Marine snells in upper ° ' ' 



i"^'^- flaggy, rusty-red and white sandstones, with thin 



crisp shaly layers, of the upper series were found after long search 

 to contain a few casts of small undeterminable bivalved shells and a 

 few plant fragments and annelid tracks. The beds resemble those of 

 Bhoojia hill close to Bhooj ; and while they might occur in any part of 

 the upper group, so far as petrological aspect is concerned, an open roll 

 may here bring up some of the underlying transition beds ; nothing was 

 however, seen to prove that this takes place. The occurrence of marine 

 forms in the upper beds is very rare, and the place was being searched 

 for Zamiee when they were found here. 



In other parts of the plain the rocks present the usual appearance 

 Plant-fragments near "^^ the upper beds, but Falaozamics were only 

 ^'^°^^- found in a few thin shaly bands near the village 



of Amora, at a distance to the northwards. Between this and Gud- 

 jeensir the thick shaly band which forms the fine escarpment traversing 

 the country was carefully searched for plant-remains without success, 

 a few Belemnites being the only fossils found. 



The country in the vicinity of the Keera and Charee is hilly, one of 

 Vicinity of the Keera ^^ small elevations west of the latter village hav- 

 and Charee. -j^^ ^^ oblong shape, like another north of Bhooj, 



and being also called Palkiari. Near this hill and the village, and in the 

 coimtry to the west, are some strong compact amygdaloidal and concre- 

 tionary basaltic dykes traversing hard, flaggy, Kght-colored and red sand- 

 stones and gray shales, either horizontal or undulating slightly. These
