and finally the trap is cut off by a larger throw which brings in limestone 



against it. 



One inlier of sandstone is cut through in the Huthnee below 



„ , , . , T Hutwee : thence to the Nerbudda the stream makes 



Hutniiee river below ' 



Hutwee. j^g ^^j through trap rocksj which have an unusual 



amount of inchnation. At one place a dip of 25° to the south is seen^ and 

 15° continues for a little distance^ but the average dip is about 5°. Along 

 the Nerbudda for many miles east and west of the mouth of the 

 Huthnee the same dip exists. 



East of the Huthnee^ between that river and the Baghnee^ in the 

 neighbourhood of the Nerbudda^ several cretaceous inliers occur^ sur- 

 Inlier of cretaceous I'ounded by trap rocks (see map). Near Dhurmrai, 

 ■beds near Dhurmrai. -^^ ^^^ ^^ these, fine glens are cut by a stream 



exposing a great thickness of sandstones and shaly beds. These inliers 

 are composed of rocks similar to those entering into the composition of 

 the Bagh beds elsewhere in the surrounding country. 



Passing west of the Huthnee, the boundaries of the trap, cretaceous 



beds, and metamorphics are, for some distance, very

irregular. South-west of Nanpoor a tract of sand- 

 stone projects for 3 or 4! miles into the gneiss area. It consists of 

 Sandstone near Nan- ^^^rty limestone, sometimes breaking with a crys- 

 ^°°^' talline glistening fracture above, white sandstones 



and red argillaceous rock resting on white conglomerate below. To 

 the south of it is a great bay of the metamorphics. In this, close to 

 Soolgaon, is a craggy hill of -a peculiar white rock, resembhng that 

 which is found near Hurrungaon, east of the Dhar forest. 



From Walpoor to Allee the boundary of the trap is so straight 

 that it is almost certainly a fault striking west-25°-north. The sand- 

 stone disappears about half-way and the traps abut against the meta- 

 morphics.
