BUNDELCUND. 21 



angularly shivered without displacement of the stratum, the fragments 

 being recemented by the siliceous infiltration giving the appearance of a 

 mosaic, and also in a section of pure limestone beds, I saw a bed of the 

 flinty type, rather a curiosity in its way. Its two surfaces were of un- 

 broken green jasper, the centre was a medley. Unaccountable fragments 

 angular and rounded, of jasper and of limestone filled in by hyaline 

 quartz, forming numerous crooks and comb-veins. From this section on 

 the river bank, the limestone extends up the hill side for 150 — 200 

 feet." This section tends to prove either view. It may suggest the iden- 

 tification of this silicified rock with the Tirhowan groups. The reasoning 

 on the other side is not absolute, but as far as I saw of the rocks I am in- 

 clined to it. In this very instance it greatly complicates the section to 

 suppose this to be Tirhowan limestone : about one and a half mile up the 

 valley, at Siha, the Semri shales and limestone are quite horizontal and 

 at higher level. This is what we should expect on the latter supposition ; 

 the former would necessitate a considerable fault with a down-throw to 

 the North, a solution presenting no difficulty in itself, but which would 

 be an exception to the general interpretation of the section. 



The chief difficulty to which I have alluded, is to account for the dis- 



General interpretation appearance of the Tirhowan limestone, and, in the 



S. W. position, of the Pulkoa schists also, beyond 



a certain line running in a N. E. and S. W. direction, that is, more or 



less exactly paralled to the strike of the junction, and passing through 



the Punwaree hills and near Pulkoa hills on the S. E. 



I have already given the section on Pulkoa hill — about a mile and

about the same height and having the same 

 outline ; it has at top the horizontal sandstone — the same beds which 

 form the capping of Pulkoa hill, — but its lower portion instead of the 

 Tirhowan limestone and the Pulkoa schists, shows a fine crumbling yel- 

 low shale belonging, I believe, to the Vindhyans and to be called,
