KALADGI SERIES. 113 



The most westerly of those strips forms a high rocky ridge cul- 

 M -k • h-u minating in the Manikeri (Mumieekehree) trigo- 



nometrical station, 2,458 feet above sea level.'^ At 

 the station the quartzite beds, which are of reddish and drab colors, have 

 a north-east dip of from 30° to 40°. At Hulkund the ridge is crossed 

 by a nullah, but rises again to the eastward and forms two conspicuous 

 rocky hiUs, the southernmost of which dies down in an anticlinal ellipse. 

 The anticlinal character of the ridge is obscure at its western extremity, 

 owing to the great height to which the trap still surrounds the hill ; 

 it is very probable, too, that that anticlinal is slightly inverted at that 

 end. The quartzite hill to the north at Chippulkatti is clearly a repe- 

 tition of the same beds, brought up by a fault running parallel with the 

 Manikeri hill ridge. Rather more than half a mile east of the 

 elliptical end of the anticlinal, other sandstone and quartzite beds are 

 exposed, belonging probably to a rather higher horizon in the series. 

 These form part of a low anticlinal, much hidden by the great spreads 

 of cotton soil on which stand the villages of Biskop (Beeskop) and 

 Kulur (Kooloor). The anticlinal can be traced eastward to Salapur, 

 and to a small but very bold and rocky hill north of Naganur.f East 

 of this hill the anticlinal dies away under the shales and limestones. 



The reddish quartzite sandstones forming the Naganur hill are fully 



100 feet thick, and but slightly disturbed, the

northern dip being only 15° and the southern only 

 from 5° to 10°. North of the hill is an apparently overlying set of 

 quartzites of reddish drab and purplish colors, some beds of which are 

 strongly ripple-marked. They dip north 55°, and this high dip seems 

 connected with some noteworthy features in the overlying limestones 

 which will be mentioned further on. 



* The view from the summit is very extensive and interesting. To tlie west the falls 

 of Gokak are seen distinctly, and the Gokak scarp shows in its entirety and far better 

 than from any other place I know of. 



t The village lies nearly a mile south of the spot shown in sheet 41.
