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



a mass o£ the variegated group with portions of the uppermost 

 black zone brought into crushed and faulted contact with both the 

 Siwaliks and the calcareous Jurassic beds. How this mass was originally- 

 placed it is difficult even to conjecture with probability, but its presence 

 may be connected with the intense folding and distortion of the rocks 

 where the Paniala bluffs turn sharply to the north, and are traversed by 

 the bridle path used to convey water from the last-named village to the 

 hill station. 



The cliffs in the limestone group at this place were estimated, partly 

 by the aid of aneroid readings, at from 800 to 

 1,000 feet in height, most of this being a sheer ver- 

 tical precipice, through beds not only presenting a very focus of plication, 

 but so intensely faulted and crushed that a portion of the Siwalik rocks, 

 once caught apparently in a minor oblique synclinal on the northern 

 side of the main Nila Roh and Shekh Budm anticlinal axis, has been 

 wedged into a position along the upper part of the Khavuri ravine- 

 actually underlying the Jurassic rocks on both sides of the stream.
