TOZ KING: KADAPAH AND KARNÚL FORMATIONS. 
DESCRIPTION OF SECTION No. VII. 
From one mile north-west-by-west of Manesultanupalem to Perekipadu, 
6 miles. 
'fhis section shows the position of the rocks forming the eastern 
and western sides of the Venkatayapalem valley in its southern part. 
At the western extremity of the section the limestone bed (4) is 
represented, but at that exact spot is highly impure and shaly. This 
limestone abuts against the highly inclined quartzite beds of the 
Gudibonda ridge which are brought up by a fault. These quartzites are 
unquestionably the Juggiapett beds (No. 1), forced up into an anti- 
clinal fold, as seen a little distance to the north, though on the line of 
the section (owing to a slant in the line of the fault) only the eastern 
slope of the anticlinal has been brought up. At a little distance from 
the foot of the ridge on the east side a small patch of the limestone 
(L) is exposed, abutting on the east against the upheaved gneiss of the 
Venkatayapalem valley. The slate (4) is not seen along the line of 
section owing to a thick bed of soil and great talus, but further north 
it is well seen. As the ridge runs north the anticlinal fold rises to a 
much greater height and is greatly squeezed up ; where the ridge reaches 
its greatest height it is almost inverted near the top; and on its western 
flanks the entire thickness of the lower limestone series (7!) is exposed, 
here capped by the iron bed described in Section V. 
About a mile south-east-by-east of Manesultanupalem, a fault 
brings up the upper part of the quartzite No. 1, which is capped by 
a bed of grey limestone, the slate band (a) being absent, or at least 
only represented by a thin band of shaly limestone. The underlying 
quartzites are whitish in color and generally waxy in texture. 
The extension of all the different rocks, described in these seven 
sections, to the westward in the Nizam’s territory on the north side 
of the Kistnah is extremely simple in geological structure; the only 
beds represented being the Juggiapett quartzites (No. 1), the slate (a)
