Below the laterite of Wasnaj the white calcareous sandstones and 

 clays which were seen to the north near Bheempoor are again exposed. 

 Ahout half way between Wasna and Bojpoor^ another bed of laterite is 

 met with, dipping to the west. It contains pebbles, an unusual 

 circumstance. 



Wasna appears to be the locality mentioned by Dr. Carter,"^ whence 

 Major Fulljames obtained the specimens of nummulitic limestone, which 

 furnished Nummulites Broachensis, Carter, and N. RamoncU, Defrance, 

 associated with Operculina and Orhitoides dispansus, Sow. No bed of lime- 

 stone containing fossils was met with nearer to Wasna than at Wagul-

 But it is quite possible that a thin band may have been overlooked, 

 although search was made for it, and it is even by no means improbable 

 that a small section of a stratum may have been exposed in a nulla 

 when Major Pulljames''s examined the locality, which was concealed by 

 pebbles or sand during the present examination. It is also possible that 

 Major FuUjames^s locality may have been at Wagulkhore or in its 

 neighbourhood.
