BUNDELCUND. 15 



From the outermost points as Adjygurh, Kalleenjur, Rusin — where, 

 the granite reaches nearly to the top of the scarp and is covered by 

 the pure Kymore sandstone, — far into the gorges of the Runj and the 

 Boghin and back to Tirhowan itself, the perfectly gradual slope of the 

 granite is easily traceable and the corresponding thickening out of the 

 stratified rocks as they get far from the granitic run. 



The rock I alluded to above is the bottom rock along this sur- 

 face of junction: its character and relation to the 



Junction rock. 



Tirhowan hmstone may be exhibited from the 



description of some of the isolated hills about Tirhowan.* All these hills 



have the same height and outline as the table-land, except those on the 



N. W. about Aikbarpoor, which being entirely of granite, have a pointed 



or rounded summit. Of the small group 4 miles to N. of Tirhowan the 



two most southerly eminences are capped by about 50 feet of stratified 



rocks, "the lower half is arenaceous, in rough 

 Loorwara hill. 



beds, some of a coarse homogeneous calcareous 



sandstone, grains of silex and of green earth and sometimes a pinkish 

 felspathic bond ; on fracture the surface has often a glassy appearance 

 like that produced by semifusion — with this are layers of a more earthy 

 sandstone containing abundantly, irregularly conformable bands of white 

 chert and of jasper, as if by segregation contemporaneous with the forma- 

 tion or consolidation of the bed itself: the calcareous element in this 

 seems adventitious. The upper half of these remnants of sedimentary 

 rock is calcareous, having relation to the beds below it as just described 

 and also to the limestone of Punwaree hill — in every respect of texture, 

 colour, and probably of composition it is the same as the latter, the 

 lowest here not being more intensified than the highest there ; but that 

 Loorwara hill is massively bedded and is sprinkled throughout with 

 small flatly-rounded pebbles of yellow jasper. These sometimes prevail 



* It is unfortunate that these and many other hills are not expressed on the maps, 

 though quite as prominent as many that are given.
