series form here a lofty precipice, which is visible from a great distance, 

 and well exhibits the red colour of the dull-red sandstone and red shales. 

 On the northern slope, where the layers dip down towards the valley of 

 Sulhud, a thin sheeting of clays, fragments of white sandstones, and 

 hpematitic silieious breccia covers the bedding surface, but these rocks 

 cannot be observed in situ under the succeeding triassic dolomites. 



7. On the north-western end of the section, the succession of beds 

 is a little different from that on the southern spur. It is as follows : — 



h. — Thin bedded limesfcoues with sandy layers and numerous ") 

 fossils. Among others Neriiieis, Neritopsis, Astarte, 

 Opis, Nv.cula, Leda> Osirea; not of determinable 

 species ; thickness nearly 100 feet.

 10 feet.
