Similar white beds occur from above the river banks to the 

 immediate base of the hill, and there are remnants of a laterite 

 band above them, better seen on its south side, together with 

 strong gypseous shales. Above these rest the white nummulitie marls 

 and marly limestone with shaly and sandy portions, as usual crowded 

 with various nummulites and other fossils, among which the following 

 were observed : — The large saddle-shaped NummuUte before mentioned, 

 Nummulites exponens, N. BaimoncU, Alveotina, Carcluim Pideti, Fecten 

 Bouei, d'Arch., Conus — sp., Natica — sp., S^c. These beds have a thickness 

 of about 80 feet, and are overlaid by the hard argillaceous compact 

 yellow limestone before mentioned, in which numerous casts of bivalves 

 and corals occur. 



At a conspicuous hillock in the plain, west of Baboa hill, called 

 ' Kari Mori,' the nummulitie beds are capped bv

In the stream northwards of the hill, the nummulitie beds have a 



northerly dip at an angle of about 4°, but the see-

tion is not continuously exposed. Here the upper 



beds of the group are yellow gypseous saline clays, and a soft, decom- 

 posed, gray and black sandstone with lai-ge Numnmlites, also Pecteu Bouei, 

 and Jjobadyei. Above this are unfossiliferous, blue and yellow mottled 

 gypseous shales with a thick bed of fine brownish earthy sandstone. 



Further down the stream a synclinal curvature brings in some 

 beds of a higher group, consisting of variegated sandy shales and rubbly 

 beds containing Turritellm, Ostrem, and other fossils. These rest on red 

 and yellow sandstone with abundant casts of Natica, and Cyprea, Pecten 

 corneus. Sow., and large yeref/o-like tubes, also with corals and fragments 

 of BcIiinantJms , underlying all of which is a rough, highly ferruginous 

 sandstone. To the north of this the opposite side of the synclinal is 

 seen, the nummulitie beds again appearing with a southerly dip near 

 the village of Byahw or Bayow.
