262 WYNNE : GEOLOGY OF THE SALT EANGE IN THE PUNJAB. 



is still to be noticed a thin calcareous band of golden oolite^ entirely 

 resembling that found in Kachh, and here also fossiliferous, with indefi- 

 nite bivalve shells. This band lies between soft, white, red or yellow 

 sandstones, with many obscure plants, and some compact limestone, 

 with red and yellow hard argillaceous bands. It was found over the 

 right bank of the Bargxr has, not far from the place where the passage 

 up the glen is first interrupted. 



North of the latitude of Ghari, the whole series of the Tredian 

 hills strikes north-west out upon the plains, the boundary of which 

 here takes a northerly direction ; but a faulted local anticlinal curva- 

 ture of the rocks towards Khyrabad a«rain exposes

below the prevalent nummulitic rocks, the 



Jurassic, triassic, and some of the carboniferous beds. The axis of 

 this anticlinal has an oblique direction differing by some 15° from that 

 of the margin of the hills, so that the lower beds are exposed along the 

 outer Q^^Q of these for a couple of miles, the carboniferous strata 

 making a feeble effort to form the usual cliffs capped by the triassic 

 and Jurassic formations, overlaid in turn by the nummulitic beds.
