homog'eneous than tlie rest of tlie rockj weather out into angular blocks. 

 The matrix is always the same ; a yellow sandstone. 



Alternations of this breccia and of the limestone occur throughout 

 the section. The limestone is^ as usual^ laminated, but not contorted. 

 Occasionally, as in the Tawa, the lamination appears concentric instead 

 of being in parallel planes. 



North-west of Andhari Bagh, hornstone-breccia occurs, and

village of Mendikhaira. This hill, however, is within the Vindhyan 

 boundary, and as that boundary is a fault of considerable extent, 

 it appears probable that this breccia may belong to the Vin- 

 dhyans.

north of the Vindhyan boundary. The Bijawurs 

 are then covered up by Vindhyans, which run up the valley of the 

 Chorul, as already described, and the trap comes in upon the Vin- 

 dhyans in broad patches. 



On the north of this tract of Bijawurs a small patch of granite 

 Granite near Mirza- (protogene) occurs in one of the branches of the 

 ^°^^' Kanyar, near the village of Mirzapoor. It is 



largely crystallized, and contains chlorite, but no mica. It is overlaid 

 by the sandstones presently to be mentioned, and by trap. This granitic 

 rock only continues for about half a mile down the stream, and is then 

 abruptly succeeded by Bijawur limestones. The junction is not seen, 

 but the limestone, 50 yards from the granite, appears quite unaltered 

 by it, and no veins of the granite are seen in the limestone. It does 

 not appear probable, therefore, that the granite is intrusive, but 

 whether the limestone rests upon it naturally, or whether the two rocks 

 are separated by a fault, it is impossible to say.
