OP CUTCH. 7 



adjoining'j I found marine beds eontuiuing- Osirea MarsJiii, two species of 

 Fecten, Trigonia costata, Belemnltes, &c. These beds dip towards the 

 south, but in places, close to the foot of the hill, they were much dis- 

 turbed and even in places vertical. There is certainly a twist, possibly a 

 fault, along the base of the hills here, but if there be a fault of any 

 great dimensions, it is certainly less clearly indicated than might have 

 been expected. 



In the rocks of Katrore hill itself, near the summit. Ammonites of 

 two or three species occur in red concretions, which are scattered through- 

 out a soft grit. Other similar concretions contain fossil wood. The beds 

 dip steadily S. 30°-40°, W. at about 5". 



North of Bhooj, for a considerable distance, the coarse sandstones 

 and argillaceous beds of the Zamia-bearing series are met with. An 

 attempt was once made to work a bed of coal which crops out in a nulla 

 at the village of Toombo. The section seen in the nulla is — 



1. Coarse brownish and white sandstone very false-bedded ... 



2. Ferruginous sandstone 



3. Coarse white false-bedded sandstone, with carbonaceous 



streaks, especially abundant towards the base 



4. Ferruginous parting 



5. Coarse white and yellowish sandstone, false-bedded and con- 



taining carbonaceous streaks in places 



6. Carbonaceous shale, passing down into ... 



7. Coal 



8. Blue clay with carbonaceous markings ... ... ... 00 



The middle 8 inches of the coal is very inferior, being rather a shale 

 than coal. Only about 8 inches is really good ; this is bright and firm 

 coal. 



Some hundreds of feet of white and brownish sandstone, with oc- 

 casional shaly or ferruginous bands, underlie the little section above 

 detailed. The predominating rock is coarse white sandstone, much false- 

 bedded. Plant fragments abound, but nothing was met with suffi- 

 ciently preserved for identification.
