WYNNE : GEOLOGY OF THE SALT EANGE IN THE PUNjIb. 



Near the latter place the outer slopes of the hills are covered with 



dehris and displaced masses of the carboniferous

limestone, and in the gorge opening there upon 



the plain, the rocks are much affected both by slipping and by contortion. 

 The dark greyish purple conglomeratic shale representing the " purple 

 sandstone ^^ in places in the Amb glen is so entangled with the red marl 

 as to appear to dip beneath it; and near this, for 80 or 100 yards, vertical 

 white and purple sandstone, red shaly bands and liver-coloured sandstones, 

 are crossed by the stream. In a slipped mass perhaps somewhat inter- 

 nally disarranged, the following succession occurs : — 



Shaly clays and white sandstone layers of the " speckled 



sandstone" group, thickness obscure.
