 perhaps less characteristic than elsewhere, but there appears little reason 

 to doubt their belonging to the same series.

being distinctly intercalated in the beds. It is, however, worthy of notice 

 that the granitoid rock in each case was of a different variety from any 

 prevalent in the metamorphics. In one instance where the granite was 

 distinctly seen intercalated between bands of Bijawurs, it was a coarse 

 ternary form; in the other, where masses of granitoid rock were found 

 in the centre of the district occupied by the Bijawurs, they were composed 

 of felspar and epidote, the latter partly in small veins, partly dissemina- 

 ted and passing into serpentine.

In general the bedding can be fairly seen in the quartzites and hornstones,

* In examining the Bijawurs great caution must be used in admitting any apj^arent case 

 of unconformity which may be met with. The bedded unclcaved quartzite or hornstone, 

 dipping at no great angle to the horizon, often rests upon vertically laminated limestones or 

 schist, and if their foliation he not carefully distinguished as such, the observer is very 

 likely to suppose that it is bedding, and that the quartzite or hornstone is restiug upon tlic 

 upturned and dcuuded edges of the older rocks, while in reality the two may be quite con- 

 formable. Instances of this kind were not unfrequcut about Bagh and Jobut.
