by dark brownish-purple splintery conglomeratic clay ; the pebbles 



being of red granite, quartzite, amygdaloid, trap, and so forth, the 



metamorpbic varieties predominating; so that it would seem as if the 



" purple sandstone " was not only growing thinner to the westward, but

generally found along the outer or southern side of the hills ; bat the 

 conglomeratic shaly mass (for there is but little stratification in it) being 

 developed at a distance of a few miles, and more within the hills. It 

 must, however, be observed that no good example of transition has 

 been detected, even though the conglomeratic shale occurs close to some 

 of the " purple sandstone ^^ beds at Golawala; hence I cannot assert 

 that these conglomeratic shales are absolutely a part of the lower purple 

 sandstone; they might just as well belong to group No. 5. 



Just above these boulder-beds, which vary a good deal in thickness, 

 being" sometimes 100 feet or even more, there is frequently a fifty-feet
