CHAP. 1l.) THE KADAPAH FORMATION. 135 
At the southern end of the field there has also been some faulting, 
(1) MI though here too the line is obseured by debris and 
alluvial deposits. The fault commences between 
Tripetty and Curcumbode, and is seen thence to increase eastwards, 
for, in the hills above Tripetty, the bottom or Naggery beds are seen, 
lying naturally on the gneiss, whereas, towards the eastward, the same 
and higher beds are right down in the plains, and in close proximity to 
the gneiss, with all the signs of an abrupt junction. The southerly and 
south-easterly outlying Batanaicconda, Narnaveram, and ‘ Naggery 
Nose’ hills are all capped with the bottom beds at a good elevation. 
The outlying ridge of quartzites running up from the Batanaic- 
conda to Calastry town on the Soornamookey is faulted for a short 
QUNM distanee along the western side and at the northern 
extremity ; but there is no means of tracing these 
dislocations into those of the southern end of the field owing to the 
alluvial flat of the river covering up everything, though the end 
‘fault at Calastry seems to be a continuation of the Cureumbode fault. 
Again, in the Palnád, the limestones are, over the eastern half of 
the field, very much cleaved, and so situated that they appear to be 
"reri m. overlaid by the quartzites of the eastern ridges. 
The easterly and westerly eross faults of this part 
of the eastern boundary seem likewise to have been continued in among 
the limestones of the Palnád, for there are certainly breaks in the 
continuity of the bands of limestone and an intermediate seam of 
slates to the east of Piddoogooralla. 
Little can be said regarding the relative age of these various 
Some of faults younger SYStems of faults, except that they are younger

field, some of the crushing and accompanying faulting was transmitted

over its southern half at least, the K/oond-airs and Jummulmudgoos
