biit just beyond they again continue steadily, their strike becoming 

 west-25°-south, dip about 80° to the northward. About 100 yards 

 farther massive purplish sandstone-quartzites (a) rest upon these beds.

they are of a darker purple than usual, are coarsely rippled in places 

 and dip from 50° to 80° in the same direction as the last. These are superbly 

 seen opposite the village of Pullasee in an island of the Nerbudda, a sketch 

 section (Fig. 3.) of which is given above(3). There are slight evidences of 

 faulting above and below the bed c, which is very massive, the beds b and d 

 near to it presenting a somewhat brecciated appearance, but this is most 

 probably due to slight local dipping. Still d and e may be repetitions 

 of a and b, though appearances are not in favor of the assumption. 

 Rippling is seen in all the beds, c included. On the north bank of the 

 river, the massive bed c can scarcely be traced, although the remainder 

 of the section is perfectly similar. 



There appears much doubt if there be any faulting on a large scale 

 in this spot. The beds are suddenly turned up at a high angle, and some 

 contortion, smashing, and local slipping has resulted ; but the vertical 

 shaley beds seen abutting against the breccia, are also seen associated
