of the former, but altered by the action of the latter. It is also possible 



that it belongs to the Bijawurs and represents some beds of that series 



occurring- near Jobut, to be hereafter described. But against this it 



may fairly be argued that no other Bijawur beds are seen in the 



immediate neighbourhood, while metamorphic rocks occur at both Bul- 



waree and Mohunpoor, and that it is less hardened and altered than any 



other Bijawur rocks in the country."^

cover a comparatively large area, forming flat topped hills with only an 

 occasional cap of trap. The conglomerate contains pebbles of quartz 

 and gneissose rocks, which frequently remain scattered over the surface 

 when the matrix is decomposed and removed. A similar conglomerate is 

 common further west. 



The sandstones here have in general a very low southern dip, which 



is also seen near Bagh. It does not exceed 1°, if

indeed it be so much ; but very considerable dis- 

 turbance and high dips are met with south of Koja Kooa, which is an 

 unusual occurrence amongst the Bagh beds in this part of the country. 

 Near Anjuntal they dip for some distance to the north at an angle of 15°. 

 Between Koja Kooa and Anjuntal Bijawurs are exposed in the

west to south-east, and vertical. In one place the original bedding 



was seen crossing the cleavage at right angles. In the limestones 



there is much apparent contortion. The boundary between these beds 



and the metamorphics is probably a continuation of the fault boundary 



seen north of Bagh. 



* This tract was not closely examined, and no opportunity was afforded of returning 

 to it after examining the Jobut beds.
