KHIRTHAR RANGE. 87 



At Bando-ji-kabar, near the head of the Salari stream, Nari beds 1 

 Nari beds on higher come in u P on tne Khirthars of the higher range, 

 Tan £ es - . and extend thence to the southward, occupying 



the trough of a synclinal between two ridges of Khirthar limestone. 

 The general section is shown in the annexed sketch (PL III, fig. 1). 

 The synclinal of Nari beds is continued across the head-waters of the 

 Salari and Maki streams to beyond Harar. It is much complicated and 

 cut up by faults, the sharp synclinals and anticlinals being frequently 

 accompanied by fracture and slipping. Thus at the head of the Salari 

 the section is of this kind (PI. Ill, fig. £), or there may be a fault 

 •east as well as west of the Nari synclinal. 



Between the Salari and Maki streams, and again south of the Maki 



stream, the ridge of Khirthar limestone to the 

 Khirthar ridge. . r ,j , . . 



east of the Nan synclinal has a precipitous scarp to 



the eastward, probably a fault, and it is near the base of this scarp that the 



Salari hot-spring, already mentioned, rises. Even this outer ridge is 



double in places and contains a crushed synclinal, in which little patches 



of Nari beds occur here and there. The Damria towers, 2 two round 



turrets built apparently for the purpose of guarding a pathway, are on 



the edge of the eastern scarp. 



Harar, at the head of the Maki Nai, is about 3,000 feet above the 



sea, and is a very singular and beautiful place. 

 Harar. . 



It is on a low part of the mam range which 



slopes upwards on the western side to an elevation of between 5,000 and 



6,000 feet. To the east is a steep scarp, overlooking the lower ranges 



of Nari, Gaj, and Manchhar beds, and the Maki Nai cuts its way to 



the low ground through lofty cliffs of Khirthar limestone. The slopes 



of the main Khirthar range west of Harar are covered with Nari beds. 



How these beds are cut off to the eastward is not clear, but south of 



Harar an immense mass of Khirthar limestone rises, surrounded by 



1 Coloured by mistake as Gaj on the map. 



2 For a description of these towers by Dr. Lalor, see Sind Gazetteer, p. 493. They are 

 there called Danna towers, but on the map Doomria, The correct name, as I learn from 

 Mr. H. E. Watson, is Damria.
