with or without the carbonaceous ele- 

 ment, are found on both sides ; and 

 it is impossible to suppose in every case 

 that we see only a faulted, or contorted 

 repetition of the overlying strata. 



The section along the watershed ridge 



upon which Sim- 

 Section from Simla. 



la stands, and in 

 continuation of that of the Krol, is one 

 of the most characteristic that I can 

 give. The actual straight line of such 

 a section (Fig. 4) may be taken on the 

 north-west of the Krol, from a point 

 north-east of Subathu to Hatu, a 

 summit 10,469 feet in height, rising 

 on the east of Narkunda and Kotgurh. 

 The direction is about north-east-by- 

 east, and the distance thirty-two miles. 

 The low ridge at the south-west end of 

 the section is nearly in the strike of 

 the Krol ; it is formed by a rise of the 

 Blini limestone. The valley on the 

 north-east is the lower reach of the 

 Blini, and corresponds with Kundah 

 gap on the north-east side of the Krol. 

 It will be simpler to omit the descrip- 

 tion of that portion of the section 

 immediately to the north of the Blini, 

 until after I have noticed the rocks 

 at Simla, where, I believe, some of the 

 beds already described can be identified.
