Before the Hurdgudha meets the Damoodah two other seams, neither 

 of any value, are exposed. 



We shall now proceed to examine the section afforded in the Bhera 

 nuddee. This river meets the Damoodah about 

 a mile from the village of Heshapoora. The junc- 

 tion of the two rivers forms a leading feature in a scene of singular 

 beauty. The Damoodah has cut for itself a deep channel through the 

 metamorphic rocks so as to exhibit an admirable section of the quartzites 

 and micaceous and hornblendic schists which occur there : the softer 

 varieties having been hollowed out still deeper retain the waters 

 in a succession of pools which are connected by the stream. The 

 banks are clothed with a luxuriant and dense jungle, and a picturesque 

 Hindoo temple situated in the angle between the two rivers adds to 

 the general effect, and testifies to its f ounder^s appreciation of the beau- 

 ties of nature. 



Above the Talchir beds which occur, as we have already stated 

 in the Bhera nuddee are thin-bedded sandstones and carbonaceous 

 shales, followed by grits and sandstones containing runs of pebbles, 

 after which we obtain the following section :—
