WYNNE : GEOLOGY OE THE SALT KANGE IN THE PUNJAB, 



beds crop out, resting on the carboniferous limestone, the whole series 

 passing off on one side along the Amb glen, and on the other along the 

 north-eastern side of the Bazar Wan. From the high ground looking 

 in the latter direction the four groups, Nos. 6, 7, 9 and 11, can be well 

 seen striking steadily off to the north-west, with much less of the confu- 

 sion and concealment occurring on the northern side of the Amb valley.

 taken from the notes of Dr. Waagen and myself, many of the details 

 beins" from the former : —
