the Bijawurs ought to be turned up against the metamorphics, whereas 

 the appearance presented is that of their being turned down, and it is 

 strange that no tendency to any curve should be seen in the red beds, 

 while all the underlying rocks seen are either much curved or nearly 

 vertical. 3. There only remains the supposition that the bedding has 

 been preserved in the red beds, while in the calcareous and sandy rocks 

 it has been obliterated and superseded by cleavage-foliation. But the 

 pressure necessary to cause cleavage so strongly marked must have pro- 

 duced some effect upon the jaspery red beds. It seems probable that this 

 effect is the brecciation, which, although less marked in the Jobut area 

 than elsewhere, is stUl more or less imiversal. In some cases it is 

 as strongly marked as ever ; one fragment was picked up of a breccia 

 similar to the remarkable form previously described as occurring north- 

 west of Chandgurh in the Dhar forest, in which stratified quartzite 

 appeared, as it were, permeated by strings of red jasper. 



The conclusion which appears most probable is, that the Bijawur 



Bijawnrs of Jobut pro- ^^ds of the Jobut' patch are horizontal or rolling 

 bably nearly horizontal. at low angles, although they are more crystalHne 

 than usual, and although granitoid rock of two distinct kinds is asso- 

 ciated with them. It is probable that all the high dips noticed in the 

 slates and schistose beds are due to cleavage, and that the original bed- 

 ding is preserved in the jaspery red beds alone, the hardness of which, 

 and their resistance to denudation, have preserved a raised tract, over 

 which they form the sm-face rock, above the level of the surrounding 

 country. It is possible that the same may be the case in the smaU patch 

 near Bulwarree.
