[\. Gray and blue thin limestone and gray shales. 



" The lower part of the cretaceous band and the upper part of the 

 Jurassic form one thick bed of 137 feet, the Ammonites and Belemnites 

 from the upper part having a neocomian character, while those from 

 the lower part of the zone are Jurassic. Two chief bands of alum- 

 shales occur, one above and the other below the lower lumpy nummulitic 

 limestone ; and there are other less distinct bands besides, in the lower 

 part of the variegated Jurassic series, near No. 3 in the section." 



In the branching glen north of the Darwaza, immediately overlying 

 the nummulitic limestone, and rising upwards on its slope in large V- 

 shaped masses, are the greenish and dark purple sandstones and pseudo- 

 conglomeratic concretionary beds, with much red clay, belonging to the 

 lower portion of the great tertiary sandstone series. They occupy a con- 

 siderable space in the section, the dip here becoming lower, and there being 

 some undulations on the north flank of the range, though not sufficient to 

 affect the ridgy form of the ground. Even among the lowest of these red 

 beds bone fragments occur, but I saw none of the sandy nummulitic layers
