The coal of this locality will be found mentioned at page 8 of Di% 

 Oldham's memorandum already alluded to, being the first that he notices. 

 It is traceable for about two miles altogether, or less, and with the in- 

 cluding beds forms an open curve bulging towards the north. The 

 associated shales and the coal itself are pyritous, causing the coal to take 

 fire spontaneously. 



In the section from Bhaganwala to near Kotal Kund (fig. 16, 

 Nummulitic Umestone ^^- XIV) * the nummulitic limestone has already 

 ttickening. gained considerably in bulk and exhibits its two 



characteristics, of solid and lumpy-beds; the latter having much the 

 appearance of conglomerates in consequence of the nodular portions 

 being surrounded by softer marly rock, which weathers more readily 

 and is often crowded with small nummulites. There is here certainly 

 no stratigraphic indication that any unconformity exists between the 



nummulitic and succeeding beds. Nor is there 

 No unconformity. . . 



any sign of unconformity below the nummulitic 

 group ; the gray and white sandstone with carbonaceous streaks occurs 

 in other places with the same relations of paralellism to the overlying 

 and underlying rocks, though the "olive group'' is entirely absent. 

 The gray shale (No. 2, at top of page) appears to form a part of the 

 underlying beds of group No. 8. 



Group No. 8 (Nos. 1 and 2 in this measured section) has greatly

In this place, after making large deductions from the measurements,

 neslan sandstone group. 8.— Salt-crystal zone. 11. — Nummulitic limestone and coal, 

 12. — Tertiary sandstones, &c.
