Close to a village called Andharee, west of Saimulda, the slates of

distinctly more and more crystalline, as the meta- 



morphics are approached, the passage from clay slate to schistose slate 



being excellently seen. Still a fault may separate the two rocks, for a 



similar supposed ease of passage on the edge of the Bagh patch of 



Bijawurs proved, on further and closer examination, to be merely 



apparent. Near Saimulda an altered conglomerate

of quartz pebbles was found in the gneiss, furnish- 

 ing ample proof, if necessary, of its originally sedimentary origin. 



Upon the slaty and schistose rocks just described, the ferruginous

 jaspideous beds. q^^q^ composed of it IS bordered by a low scarp, 



which runs south-east from near Unthee to close to Andharee, and then 

 turns sharply to the south-south-west. This scarp is here composed 

 of the red ferruginous beds above, and of calcareous schists, rather more 

 crystalline than usual, below. At the base, south of Andharee, the meta- 

 morphies come in. It is difficult to decide whether this boundary is a 

 fault or not. Its straightness and the circumstance that south of 

 Andharee the ferruginous beds are brought against the metamorphics, 

 whilst to the north, slates and other rocks intervene, are in favom* of 

 faulting, but the former does not necessarily prove a disturbed boundary, 

 and the apparent disappearance of the lower Bijawurs might be due to 

 their conversion into crystalline rocks.

lamination can be seen, it is in the usual north-west and south-east direc- 

 tion. About a mile north of Jobut, on the road to Kunas, there is 

 a great quantity of a granitoid rock within the Bijawur area. It
