306 KING: KADAPAH AND KARNÜL FORMATIONS. 
Proceeding along the line of section there appear good reasons to believe 
in the existence of another fault crossing the Chintapilly peninsula 
from a point about a mile south of Jatapalle to near the embouchure 
of the Taduvayi nullah into the Kistnah ; by this fault slates and thin 
beds of quartzite appear on the north-east side of the nullah; which 
beds are probably representative of beds (e) and (No. 5) greatly thinned 
out. Beds (/ and (Wo. 6) where the Ballagarige ridge plateau is 
crossed agree in every respect with the beds described in Section I. 
On the eastern slopes of the ridge down to the Kistnah no quartzites 
are seen among the slates as in Section I; they have probably thinned 
out completely. A little south of the village of Ballagarige white 
and greyish white compact limestone appears, and forms the rocky bank 
of the river on both sides. At the village of Cautranepully the lime- 
stone is much mixed near its base with argillaceous lamine. The under- 
lying slates (a) and quartzite (No.1) offer no local specialities. The 
Peddavaram hills are capped by the bed (No. 1), which here shows 
the small included dark grey slate beds and the gritty basement before 
referred to. 
DESCRIPTION OF SECTION No. IV. 
From west-by-north to east-by-south across Kuntamuddi village, 6 miles. 
The grey limestones seen at Moogetalah and Madipadu are overlaid 
by the chocolate, drab, and greenish grey slates (4) abutting against the 
slates (a) where brought up by a fault; this break is covered up by thick 
black alluvium, but it must lie some distance west of Kuntamuddi village, 
which stands on a thin spread of the limestones (/'). By another fault, 
about half a mile east of the village of Kuntamuddi, the slates (2) and 
(c) are brought to the surface and continue into the river. On the 
east side of the river a quartzite bed, apparently (Wo. 3), shows when 
the water is low. Over this are slates (d) forming the river-end of
