KALADGI SERIES. Ill 



series is very extensively developed, and extends yet fiirtlier westward 

 to tlie neighbourhood of Nandi, on the banks of the Mamdapur nullah. 



The lower part of the shaley series probably represents some of the 

 quartzites elsewhere, for the basement quartzites, as exposed on the 

 boundary ridg-e between Mamdapur and Betgeereh, are much thinner 

 than in most other sections. 



The clay- schists, described as overlying the basement quartzites at 



Manoli, would appear from their position to be 

 Manoli clay-schists. , 



the equivalents or the shaley series just described. 

 They extend from some distance north-west of Yergatti] (Yergutteh), 

 a stage with a traveller's bungalow on the Belgaum-Kaladgi road, 

 south-eastward to the Malprabha at Manoli, and across that river into 

 the spurs of the hills running north-east parallel with the river, and 

 are lost, i. e., pass into quartzites or sandstones, among the hills south- 

 west of Ramdurg. To the northward of the clay-schists, i. e., overlying 

 them, comes in sometimes a " dirty''' hornstone breccia, similar to those 

 occurring in the north-east corner of the Kaladgi basin ; sometimes a 

 set of highly silicious (cherty) limestones, whose extension is in great 

 measm'e masked by the great accumulations of cherty debris derived 

 from the weathering of the cherty beds, together with great spreads of 

 cotton soil and also of sand formed by decay of the silicious beds on 

 the higher grounds. 



These silicious limestones appear to be distinct from the great 



Silicious limestone and limestone formation occupying the Ghatprabha

valley near Kaladgi, but the sections connecting 



the two sets of limestones are so bad and obscure that the question 



cannot be considered as one positively settled j and the area the cherty 



limestone beds of Yergatti (Yergutteh) and Ujenkop (?) (Oojenkop) 



occupy, is not shown separately in the sketch map which accompanies 



this report. They extend from Ujenkop south-eastward to Jakkabal on 



the Malprabha, north-east of Manoli, and are connected doubtless with a
