Sec. 11.] DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS. 169 



A little south of Boojur, close to Chiklee Mo tee, a small patch of 

 Inlier near Chiklee cretaceous limestone appears from beneath the 

 ^^*^®' trap. It is barely 100 yards long, and is brought 



up on the south by a fault, the beds dipping north on the limes- 

 tone. A Hemiaster occurred with the oysters which are so common 

 in this part of the country, where the Bagh Echinoderms seem to be 

 excessively rare. 



Similar small patches appear to abound throughout this country ; 

 two or three were seen between Padwani and Mogra. Large fragments 

 of sandstone were observed in a stream near Hamp, evidently brought from 

 the south side of the hill on which Ambadoongur stands, and blocks of the 

 same are scattered in many places over the country. In the latter case 

 they may frequently have been derived from the trappean conglomerate 

 abeady described, the surface of which at Boojur is covered with such 

 blocks, owing to their superior power of resisting denudation, when com- 

 pared with the traps. To have searched out and mapped all these small 

 inliers would have been the work of months. 



The ash conglomerate is also largely developed. It is evident that 

 the sandstones about Mogra, &c., are at a much higher level than at the 

 Kurro near Kawat, and as their dip is there for the most part to the 

 south, the difference must be due either to a great change in the dip or 

 to faulting. The traps dip generally to the south, so the latter is more 

 probable. The faulting may of course have been anterior, in part at 

 least, to the deposition of the traps. 



Close to Padwani, and north-east of Kotebee, there is a very 



irregular little patch of cretaceous rocks. In a 

 Near Padwani. 



small stream running towards the west sandstone 



is seen in place for a short distance. Just south of the stream is a hill 



of a peculiar porphyry, and beyond that again much sandstone and 



calcareous shale are seen lying about, part of which appears to be in place.
