26 WYNNE: GEOLOGY OF THE SALT RANGE IN THE PUNJAB. 



Siwalik rocks. The position of tlie Salt Range Ceratites is discussed in 

 section 76. 



At sections 92 and 93 the gypsum and salt marl of this district are 

 again noticed, and an anticlinal arrangement of beds at Marl on the 

 Indus mentioned, as shewing conformity of the " saliferian'^ under 

 Jurassic rocks and an unusual dip of the silurian^ and Jurassic beds on 

 both sides of the anticlinal. It is suggested that these local upheavals 

 may be due to swelling of the gypseous beds from the change of anhyd- 

 rite into common gypsum. 



A manuscript paper by the same author on the district of Banu and 



neighbourhood, in referring to part of the Salt 



Range, repeats his triassic classification of the 



salt marl, impugns the correct conclusion of Dr. Fleming, that it was in- 



feriorly placed with regard to the carboniferous series, and concludes with 



the statement that no older rocks than carboniferous are present. 



In M. de VerneuiFs note to the paper of Dr. Vercheref will be

Kashmir, but some identified with Salt Range forms. The author also 

 refers to the species forwarded by Fleming, Purdon, Godwin- Austen, and 

 Verchere, and shews the wide range of some of the Salt Range forms ; 

 for instance, — 



Atliyris {Terelratula) subtilita, Hall, found also in the carboniferous 

 of Great Salt Lake, Utah, America. 



Productm longispinus , Sow., found also in Ohio, Kentucky, 

 England, Spain, Belgium, Russia, in the Governments of Tiver, Kalonga 

 on the Donetz, and on the River Belaja, near the glacial sea. 



P. Cora, D'Orbigny ; found also in England, Belgium, Spain, and 

 in Russia, on both slopes of the Ural, &c., as weU as in North America. 



* Silurian is evidently a misprint in Dr. Verchere's paper for Saliferian.
