KALADGI SERIES. 93 



several hundred feet thick^ although both top and bottom of the series is 

 hidden under the trap. Petrologically identical with the Mangaon beds 

 Inliers in the Ved- ^^^ ^^^ ^^ds forming several smaller inliers in the 

 ganga va ey. valley of the Vedganga, eight miles to the north- 



west. These latter lie in the centre of the valley between Yengol and 

 Shengaon, and are four in number, of which the southernmost close to 

 the village of Yengol forms a small but conspicuous isolated hill 200 to 300 

 feet high. Here all the beds dip north-north-west from 5° to 10°. The 

 other inliers are simply exposures on the flanks of the great ridges. 



A great thickness of quartzites and grits of identical character is 

 exposed in a small inlier at Pyah in a side vaUev

two miles west-north-west of Shengaon. In the 

 valley of the Dudhganga are two good-sized quartzite inliers lying north- 

 Inliers in the Dudh- westward of those of Pyah and Shengaon, of 

 ganga va ey. which they' must be considered the extensions, 



both on petrological and stratigraphieal grounds, nor can it be reason- 

 ably doubted that they form a true link with the very similar series of 

 rocks exposed at the foot of the Phonda ghat, nine miles to the west- 

 north-west. As in the Mangaon and Shengaon inliers, the quartzites 



and grits of the Waki and Inni inliers are pale 

 Waki and Inni inliers. , . . . 



colored (whitish, drab, or pinkish) and jfine 



grained. They have been but little disturbed, but roll about at low 



angles, as 8° to 10", in various directions, but in both inliers the western 



edge passes under the trap with a westerly dip of 8° to 10°. The 



quartzites do not show in the valley of the Bogavati between Waliura (?) 



(Wulewra) and the top of the Phonda ghat. 



In the Inni inlier, the beds, which are nearly horizontal, cannot be less 

 than from 400 to 500 feet thick, measured from the level of the river. 

 Both here and in the Waki and to a lesser extent in the Pyah inlier, 

 the really light-colored rocks have been blackened so inuch externally by 

 weathering, and probably in part also by the action of frequent jungle
