114 rOOTE : SOUTH MAHRATTA COUNTRY. 



From Naganur eastward nearly to Julgiri (Julgeeree), a distance of 

 sixteen or seventeen miles along the boundary, the latter is much ob- 

 scured and diflGlcult to make out, the Kaladgi limestones in most places pre- 

 senting every appearance of dipping under sandstones and quartzites, 

 which, from their position and petrological characters, must be reckoned as 

 belonging to the lower or basement series. Actual contact of the two sets 

 of rocks could nowhere be found, even with very laborious search, owing 

 to the thick covering of cotton soil, or sandy talus. From the relative 

 positions of the rocks, a series of faults, or inversions of compUcated 

 character, must be inferred ; the former of these two conditions of contact 

 is much the more probable, and has accordingly been assumed as the true 

 one in delineating the boundary on the map. The quartzites and sandstone 

 beds seen along the obscure boundary are almost entirely conglomeratic 

 in character, and have a more or less southerly dip 

 at low angles. The greatest amount of disturb- 

 ance took place at Aniwal (Annehwhal) . 



From Jalgiri eastward the boundary is normal, the quartzites and 

 conglomerates all dipping northward under the limestone series. 



Westward of Kattigiri the quartzites form an anticlinal ellipse, 

 corresponding to that on which the village itself stands, while southward 

 from the ellipse the boundary trends south-west to the Kerur nullah, and 

 makes a wide sweep to the southward and eastward, eventually returning 

 north-westward, and enclosing a large shallow bay occupied by hme- 

 stones and shales belonging to the third section of the lower Kaladgi 

 series. 



The only case of a fault-rock noticed within the Kaladgi basin 



was a large vein (or reef) of distinctly brecciated 

 Fault-rock. . .it <> ,i t -, 



quartz running along the Ime or the dislocation 



caused by the fault north of BisnaL It is only traceable for about a 



couj)le of rules.
