INPRA-TRAPPEAN ROCKS. 167 



Occupying a similar position to the above-described rocks with 

 In Dehwar Hulagb£l reference to the trap-flows is a bed o£ gritty marly 

 ""'^^^* clay exposed to the depth of 5 to 6 feet in the 



banks of the nullah running eastward from Dehwar Hulagbal (Hoolugbal) ^ 

 a village lying about half-way between Muddebihal and Talikot. This 

 gritty marly clay greatly resembles in its red and white mottled color 

 the loose washed-up grit seen at Nagurbetta. 



To the west of Itgi (Eetgee), a village lying some five miles to the 

 northward of Kalgi and nine miles west-north- 

 west of Muddebihal at the junction of the trap- 

 flows and gneissic rocks^ the surface of the slope is largely covered with 

 patches of massive kunkur-breccias of whitish color. The included 

 fragments are small broken crystals of pink felspar in large numbers, 

 lumps of gneisSj and a few quartzite and banded jasper pebbles. No 

 trap was found among the included fragments, which could hardly be the 

 case were the kunkur-breecia of younger age than the trap. This 

 breccia seems to pass under the trap : owing to the excessively thick 

 capping of regur no section could be found to prove this, but there is 

 no reason to doubt it. The tufa is remarkably massive in character and 

 very close-grained : its thickness may be estimated to be 4 or 5 feet as 

 it now lies exposed on the slope of the rising ground. Not any trace of 

 organic matter was observed in this remarkable deposit. 



Other sections in which the gritty marly clays or clayey grits are 

 to be seen were noted at Galgali (GulguUeh) on the right bank of the 

 Krishna to the north of Kaladgi; at Kulgur (Koolgoor), fifteen miles 

 east-north-east of Gokak; and at Malanhatti (MuUunhuttee) , three 

 miles north-east of that town. At Guddgomanhal (Goodgomunhal), 

 Rokatkatti, Eajunhal, and Jangwari villages lying on the long east 

 and west spur of trap which stretched south of Kaladgi, and to the 

 south-east of Aksurkop, the red mottled gritty or clayey beds occur, 

 but are associated with much quartzite shingle which is generally coarse.
