MALLET, VlNDllYAN SERIES. 59 



IS some 150 feet below the tops of the hills on either side of Gwalior 

 Jroeks. Even the summit of the outlier itself is below that level. A more 

 beautiful instance of pre-existing denudation and ancient valley erosion 

 could scarcely be found than this. Similar outliers of smaller size are 

 frequent in the neighbouAood, filling up lateral valleys, as this does the 

 main one. 



While speaking of outliers those at Ladera aild Pichour should not 

 be omitted, as they illustrate the former extension of the Vindhyans to 

 the eastward. Occurring south of the Par scarp, both rest on gneiss, the 

 former abutting against the Gwaliors. The Kymore conglomerate is 

 represented here, although it is not seen between this and the main 

 scarp, an interval of twenty miles. Such evidence of eastern extension is 

 not found elsewhere, and here it somewhat complicates the question as 

 to the original limits of the conglomerate. 



We find the Kymofes again along the north-west boimdary. Six 



miles north of Futtipur-Sikri there is a small 

 North-west boundary. ■,-,•,■,■ i • 



hill which IS no doubt the last remnant of a ridge 



which once stretched to the south-west. It is composed of the Kymore 

 sandstone which dips south-east at 15° and clearly underlies the Rewahs 

 and Bundairs of the Futtipur ridges. South-west from this point the 

 Kymores do not show above the alluvium till we arrive south of Hindoun, 

 where there is another hill of them surrounded by alluvium between 

 the Bundairs and the Gwaliors. About twenty miles north of Hindoun 

 near the town of Neethehar there are two small hillocks of the breccia 

 mentioned below, dipping north-west at 60° and isolated in the alluvium. 

 They are too small to show on the map, but are of importance as in- 

 dicating the former extension of the Vindhyans. To the south-west of 

 Kerowlee the Kymores occur in considerable force and in a somewhat intri- 

 cate manner. From Kerowlee westwards the ' quai-tzite series' and the Bun- 

 dairs are brought in contact by a great fault which has not yet been traced
