APPENDIX. 307 
the Vadadry Pagoda hill, the southern face and ridge of which are of 
a quartzite (Wo. 4)—a rather thick bed of whitish waxy quartzite with 
many laminar patches of red color in its substance; this is suddenly cut 
off by a fault, by which the limestone (7!) is brought to the surface on 
the south side of the Vadadry nullah. A great thickness of slate beds 
then follows which I believe represents beds Û, c, and d. The quartzite 
band (Wo. 3) seems to be absent, though possibly only masked by debris 
or jungle. Capping this slate series is a quartzite bed in every way 
agreeing with the Vadadry Pagoda bed in texture, color, &c. The 
position of this capping of quartzite is very peculiar, for it slopes down the 
east side of the great hill east of Vadadry at an angle ranging from 
20° to 25°, though as much as 55^ 1s the dip of the same set of beds a few 
hundred yards to the north. Near the base of the slope a fault occurs, by 
which the limestones (7!) are brought to the surface and abut against 
the quartzite, the dips of the two being opposite as if forming a syn- 
clinal fold. In plan this hill shows a very singular collocation of beds, 
: apparently due to the meeting of three faults,—the fault above referred to 
as running along the south side of the Vadadry Pagoda hill and 
extending from the Kistnah to a point at the north foot of this hill,* 
secondly, a north-south line of fault just mentioned as running along 
the base of the east slope of the hill, and, thirdly, another fault 
running from the southern end of the second (north-south) fault in 
a direction nearly parallel with the first down to the Kistnah. I could. 
not, after a most careful search, discover any signs of comtinuation 
of the lines of fracture of these three fauits beyond their points of 
junction. Where the different slate rocks abut along the faults cannot 
be detected on the surface, nor was any section found showing the 
amount of dislocation. 
* This hill, though fully 600 feet high, is not shown on the map, but instead of it a 
tank is indicated which has no existence; per contra on the west side of the Kistnah west 
of Ginjapalli and south of Kuntamuddi a large hill is shown in the map, where in reality 
a good sized tank exists.
