66 WYNNE : TRANS-INDUS EXTENSION OF THE PUNJAB SALT RANGE. 



alternating Ceratite limestones, gray micaeeons flags, and shales ; these 

 are in contact with the reddish drab clays of the tertiary group, to the 

 exclusion of the triassie Ceratite marls, the whole of the Jurassic rocks, 

 and likewise of the basal conglomerates of the tertiary geries, a circum- 

 stance which may indicate much post-triassic local erosion.

In the Bariawali wan the upper portion of the boulder beds forms a 

 small arch immediately overlaid by dark shales, and these by Bryozoan 

 limestone. Here the lower impure part of the carboniferous limestone 

 is at least 250 feet thick, and the top portion of the boulder group has a 

 mixed appearance somewhat resembling the lavender-clay part of the 

 Speckled Sandstone, underlying the cis-Indus carboniferous : the coarser 

 beds of sandstone here associated with the boulder group are not un_ 

 like the speckled sandstones ; but the colour of the lower part of the 

 section has even more resemblance to that of the purple sandstone 

 (No. 2) in the Salt Range series.
