298 KING: KADAPAH AND KARNÜL FORMATIONS. 
DESCRIPTION OF SECTION No. I. 
From Moogetalah to the Oostapully Hill Trigonometrical Station. 
In the continuous part of this section, 2. e., the central and western, 
the lowest formation met with is the great spread of limestone (7! in the 
section) at and opposite to Moogetalah. This is a grey or grey and white 
compact flagey limestone dipping eastward at moderate angles of from 
109 to 15° or 25°; a dip of 30° is not commonly met with. A great 
thickness of this limestone shows at Moogetalah; but this is most probably 
a deceptive appearance, owing to a number of small faults by which 
the same beds would be reproduced frequently at the surface. In other 
places, where a safe estimate of the thickness of the limestone is feasible, 
80 to 100 feet would seem to be the utmost thickness assignable to 
the formation; and elsewhere again it is unquestionably very much 
thinner than that. I could not positively trace any of the above sup- 
posed small faults, but have no doubt whatever of their existence about 
half a mile east of the Kistnah و‎ the limestone dips under slates (2) ; and 
at the brow of the first rise a thin bed of quartzite (No. 2) appears. 
This bed is irregularly developed along its strike, thinning and thicken- 
ing alternately within short distances. 
About half a mile south-east of the line of section the slate beds 
(6) underlying the above quartzite are seen in the bed of a nullah to 
be much folded upon themselves, some of the folds being inverted. 
In the width of the nullah-bed three folds are distinctly exposed, 
and other folds are seen to disappear under the loamy banks of the 
stream. The planes of cleavage of these (at this place pale greenish 
grey) slates are well seen, and are parallel with the axis of the folds 
themselves. 
Proceeding south-eastward with the section, the quartzite ( No. 2) 
is overlaid by another set of slate beds generally of mottled (white and 
chocolate) or chocolate color (c), presenting no features of special in- 
terest along this line of country. Resting on the slates (c) is another
