The uppermost part of the greenish-grey calcareous sandstones may 

 represent the cretaceous series, but there is nothing here to warrant their 

 separation from the strata beneath them. Other rocks of the carboni- 

 ferous formation project below those of the above list, and the speckled 

 sandstone group could be seen from above ; but the cliifs formed by the 

 lower part of the series were too precipitous to descend to the place 

 of its exposure. 



Further to the west and still on the left side of the ravine below the 

 temple of Nursingphoar, the following section was 

 noted by Dr. Waagen : —
