ber of yellowish jasper, and an occasional one of white quartz. The bulk 

 of the pebbles far exceeds that of the matrix. 



From Bundellvund to Gwalior the conglomerate appears to be seldom 

 entirely absent, being, if not more strongly developed, at least repre- 

 sented by a band of conglomeratic sandstone. In the latter country owing 

 to the uneven surface on which it was deposited, it is sometimes absent 

 on the higher ground while occurring in thick masses in the hollows. 

 An instance of this may be observed under Gwalior Fort and the hills 

 adjacent. The Kymores were deposited in a hollow of the conteni- 

 poraneous trap of the Gwalior series, and the conglomerate which is

found thickest at the lowest level is entirely wanting at the highest. 



(Fig. 5) . On the hill about a mile north, the Gwalior rocks reach nearly 



100 feet above the plain and there is no conglomerate, but on the same 



hill a short distance eastwards, the Gwaliors are at a far lower level and 



the conglomerate is well developed. The latter is seldom more than 



10 or 15 feet thick and mostly confined to one band; but in plac.es, as* 



between Kuraya and the Par scarp, irregular bands of it alternate with 



beds of sandstone, as exemplified in the following section.
