At a little distance to the north, the main road crosses the sand- 

 stone band where it is in its proper place, and 

 North of the hill. 



the white sandstones seem much thicker, lne 



band is vertical and at least 150 feet in thickness, apparently increasing" 



considerably to the eastward. The junction with the perfectly parallel 



Siwalik beds is' thus —

This sandstone band is traceable to the eastward among the vertically 

 bedded rocks on the northern side of the Grind anticlinal, but the ground 

 is here so precipitous and impassable in places that the junction which 

 occurs high up among the cliffs cannot always be closely inspepted : here 

 and there the zone, if present, was certainly not prominently in view 

 from above.
