Within the hills northward of the village a large broken tract 



of ground, lower than that on either side, fol- 



North of village. ^^^^ ^^^ direction of one of the faults previously 



mentioned. In this tract there is much of the red marl, some purple 

 sandstone, and a broad space is occupied by the " speckled sandstone " 

 group, the red marl cropping out into the Bazar 

 valley. Westward of this ground, the carboni- 

 ferous beds have been a good deal eroded, allowing the speckled sandstones 

 to appear even high up among the hills. 



Between Golawala and Chideru the outer hills are often formed 

 of the carboniferous limestone, behind which 

 stretches a narrow crooked zone of the salt-marL 

 associated with about 150 feet of the '' purple sandstone " and portions of 

 the overlying sandstone group supporting other masses of the carboni- 

 ferous limestone. 



East of the village of Chideru these groups occupy the outer face 



of the hills along the upper part of which the 



Chideru. ti i r> j v e 



carboniferous limestone forms a well-detined iine oi 



cliffs about 250 feet in height, and on the slopes behind there is a thick 



mass of the triassic beds sloping downwards into a longitudinal hollow 



among the hills. The following is the succession across these beds, part 



of the list being extracted from Dr. Waagen^s notes. 



The ''red marl,'' "purple sandstone,'' "speckled sandstone," and 

 carboniferous limestone occur here north-east of a fault. South-west- 

 wards of the same fault are —
