The strike of the foliation is steady, almost constantly within 20" of 



north-west to south-east. 



A good section of these rocks is seen in the upper Baghnee river, 



„ ,. . _- from a little south of Borree, where the stream

Baghnee. leaves the trap, to Bagh, where it enters the 



Bijawurs, a distance of 13 or 14 miles. Near Choria, where the 

 metamorphics first crop out from beneath the traps, the former consist 

 of contorted chloritic quartzose schist, vertical or nearly so, and striking 

 about north-west to south-east. The rock is slaty in aj)pearance, and, in 

 places, brecciated. It contains bands of grey quartzite with partings 

 of chlorite. This passes into talcose slate, associated with granular 

 quartzite, containing chlorite interspersed. Farther on the same rock 

 becomes more gneissoid, containing felspar and, in places, mica. The 

 next bed seen is greenstone, composed of hornblend and felspar, at first 

 without any foliation structure, but passing gradually into a more 

 schistose rock containing quartz veins. All of these beds have a 

 greenish colour, due to interspersed chlorite. 



The next bed that is seen is close to the village of Kurchut. It 

 is but indistinctly crystalline, the minerals contained being very obscurely 

 seen, but it appears to consist of hornblend and felspar, with carbonate 

 of lime. It is so soft that it may be scratched with a knife in parts. 

 It is greenish in colour, and distinctly foliated, with quartzose layers 

 in the line of strike, and, in places, fine reticulated quartz veins. This 

 rock occupies the bed of the stream for at least a mile. It then passes 

 o-radually into a micaceous hornblend schist associated with true gneiss, 

 and all the beds begin to be far more crystalline than near Choria. 

 Passing further down the stream near Chunda'wud, granite veins are
