MEMOIRS 



OF THE 



GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA 



On the Trans-Indus extension op the Punjab Salt Range, 

 by A. B. Wynne, f.g.s., &c, Geological Survey of India. 



[ In continuation of the Salt Range Memoir by the same (Mem. Geol. Surv., Vol. XIV). ] 



PART I. 



CHAPTER I.— INTRODUCTORY. 

 It is customary in these memoirs to mention the writings of previous 

 observers; in the present case they have been few, so far as I am aware, 

 and none have treated of the local geology, either comprehensively or 

 exhaustively. Dr. Fleming, in his valuable papers on the Salt Range 

 (Journal, Asiatic Society, Bengal, Vols, xvii, xviii, and xxii), makes many 

 allusions to the geology of the trans-Indus extension of this range ; and 

 Dr. Verchere, in his long paper upon the Western Himalaya and Afghan 

 mountains, and another, in the Journal of the same Society, Vols, xxxiv, 

 xxxv, and xxxvi, pages 42, 89, 90, &c, describes a section across the 

 Maidan range, Shekh Budin hill, and parts of the adjacent ranges. 

 Dr. Oldham 1 and Dr. Warth 2 have written upon the neighbourhood of 

 Kalabagh, and Dr. Costello has given a paper, in the Journal of the 



1 Memorandum : Results of a cursory examination of Salt Range. — Report to Govern- 

 ment of India, 1864. 



2 Report, administration, Inland Customs, Appendix, 1870-71,
