less thick than the full amount seen to the north and to the southward. 

 Beyond this point in the section I was not able to proceed upwards. 



A little way south of Mulla Khel there is a more practicable route 

 over the outer range into the Baroch-darra ascending the Karandi Algad 

 (see fig. 5, at p. 58). At the first part of the ascent the black zone 

 forming the neutral ground between Jurassic and cretaceous (?) is seen 

 as usual containing many Belemnites. The zone is close to the outer faulted 

 region at the base of the hills, and is succeeded by 



Karandi pass. 



a quantity of coarse soft cream-coloured sandstones 



full of large ferruginous concretions. Over them comes a quantity of 

 nummulitic limestone, making a great show as it curves over the anti- 

 clinal axis of the range, but the junction between it and the sandstone 

 beds is concealed by waste from the hills, and in the glen, by a massive 

 accumulation of calcareous tufa. 



The top of this pass is (by barometer) about 2,500 feet, and at a few 

 score yards beyond it, on the Baroch side, a set of rusty-looking sand- 

 stones is found resting upon the nummulitic limestone and associated 

 with dark olive-gray shales. These sandstones contain numerous 

 scattered pebbles of quartz and nummulitic limestone, and they appear to 

 be the representatives of the uppermost nummulitic beds of other regions. 

 The group may be 200 or even 300 feet thick, but is frequently concealed 

 by grass, &c. ; it covers much of the eastern slopes of the Baroch glen, on 

 the other side of which are a few red clay layers in the sandstones 

 representing the red zone north of the Salt Range. Above these is the 

 massive tertiary sandstone outcrop (Dangot beds) of the Lawagarh or 

 Shingarh chain. 



A mile or so further to the south the eocene limestone has folded over the 



anticlinal, but may be perhaps partly dislocated, 

 Towards Sultan Khel. 



producing the bold cliffs of this rock which form 



the crest of the range. The limestone covers the ground and forms 

 the undercliff s for a space, but the deeply cut miniature canons show the 

 cretaceous (?) and some of the Jurassic beds beneath. That the anti- 

 clinal, if not perfect now, once was so may be judged from the
