It is clear that the conglomerate was deposited against a nearly- 

 vertical bank of gneiss and Gwalior sandstone ; that the latter at "the 

 beginning of the Vindhyan epoch extended no farther south than it does 

 now ; in fact that the present Par scarp existed, and was little different 

 to what it is to-day, before the commencem£7it of the Vindhyan formation. 

 This is by no means an isolated case. It is impossible to pass along tlie 

 junction without being struck by the marked unconformity between the 

 two series, and the extensive denudation which the older had undergone, 

 by which the principal physical features of the country now existing, 

 had been carved out before the deposition of the newer. 



If we follow the Kymore scarp northwards, the Vindhyans are seen 

 resting on every member of the Gwaliors in succession from the lowest 

 to the highest. 



About a mile east of Bustori (north-east of Antree) there is a large 



outlier of Kymore sandstone (Fig. 7.) which stretches across and nearly 



fills one of the valleys in the Gwalior series. It is about 100 feet high,
