 tlie same order observed at Manjal hill, south of the Keera and other 

 places ali-eady described ; the golden oolitic beds were not, however, 

 observed here.

zone, containing Belemnites, Terehratula, Ammo- 

 nites macroceplialus, Avicula, Thracia, and other fossils of the same 

 character as at Keera on the same horizon. 



The underlying gray, impure limestone and shales contain com- 

 paratively few, but some very interesting fossils.

Some Ammonite fragments, A, sub -contractus, well 



known in the European Bath group, a small species of an Mytnus, and 

 a great number of lereiratulce, Rliynchonellce, and the thorny, flattened, 

 spines of Rhahdocidaris were observed. 



Prom this place a fine view is obtained of the Jarra cliffs (famous 

 as being an old battle-field on which the Kutchis 

 met with great disasters according to their own 

 accounts) , The shaly and sandstone beds of which they are composed 

 are seen to dip at low angles to the south-west, while some smaller hills 

 nearer to the Runn equally plainly show the opposite inclination on 

 the other side of the anticlinal axis. 



In the neighbourhood of the deserted village of Jarra, a thick zone 

 of dark-blue and gypseous shales, with numerous 

 small red nodules, weathering out and thickly 

 strewed over the ground, occupies the interior of the anticlinal curve and 

 rises in the faces of the cliffs to heights of more than 300 feet. These 

 shales contain plant-fragments and small casts of shells. Hard craggy 

 sandstones also occur in the low ground near the axis, and the shales con- 

 tinue for some miles to the westward towards Moondan, near which place
