This kind of movement is in aecordanee with the form of the 
Under-throw in accord. Curves in the Yellaconda, and with the fact that the 
ine ی‎ n anticlinals of the domes to the north having a 
38 unen higher dip on the western side than on the eastern, 
and also with the curved lines of much of Mr. Foote’s system of faults. 
These curved faults are nearly always quite parallel with the strike of the 
beds, as in the Vinukonda dome, &e. Now, it is conceivable that 
fraetures which would in folded flexures run with the axis-planes of 
those folds, might, if we may suppose them prolonged (downwards) 
into quaquaversal undulations, or domes, run with the bedding on either 
side of the long axis of the dome, rather than right through or across 
the middle, for there would be then planes of weakness, and a tendency 
would exist for the fractured masses to slide along the bedding. 
CHAPTER 2.—-Economic RESOURCES. . 
The resources of the rocks of the Cuddapah and Kurnool districts 
have already received incidental notice in the preceding pages; and, 
considering the great area and thickness of the two formations, the 
more valuable of these, as far as they are known and have been deve- 
loped, are not of very extensive or frequent distribution. It must 
always be borne in mind when treating of the value of Indian 
mineral resources from an English point of view 
Value of these must 
depend greatly on the that there are always great drawbacks to be
