 the several beds is best explained by the accompanying ideal section 

 from Budavada to P&vulur,

Fig. 5. Ideal section from Budavada to Pavulur.

 boundary, runs due east for the first half of its length, and then turns 

 north-east up to the village of Pavulur, the total length being two and 

 a half miles. 



The beds here seen fall naturally into a triple grouping, thus :— 



10. Lateritic gravel. 

 9. Sandstones, friable, coarse, reddish-brown. 

 8. Sandstones, hard, greenish or bluish-black, calcareous, 



slightly shaly, weather grey or brown. 

 7. Sandstones, friable, drab pale brown.
