38 BUNDELCUND. 



Already at Amrounea, a class of rock is introduced which becomes 

 very common, it is a coarse quartz breccia, sometimes earthy, or ferru- 

 ginous, sometimes entirely siliceous. 



" On approaching the bounding range on the inside, from Durrum- 

 poora, the quartz rocks show in low flanking mounds ; ripple-marked, 

 o-rains quite visible. At Bijawur and to E. of it, there are two marked 

 examples of the strong quartz dykes of the crystallines, running at full 

 height into the Bijawur ridge: the surface of junction is evidently very 

 uneven and sloped, points being often found higher than others to the 

 north of them : there are here quartzites of the same type as at Pundoah.' 



" At Kutola the junction takes place without any quartzites, the 

 granite extending nearly to the summit which is capped by siliceous 

 breccia ; the slope is as gradual as elsewhere, the crystallines showing still 

 at the south corner of the lake." There is a similar junction along the 

 hio-h road south of Mulhara. I shall not notice till afterwards the 

 abnormal N. S. junction. 



At the very entrance to the gorge of the river, which leaves the hills 

 east of Shahgurh, and which has already given us some good sections, the 

 Bijawur rocks are beautifully exposed for about 400 yards, being rapidly 

 covered over on both banks by the encroaching Semri sandstone. The 

 actual junction is the best I have seen, '"'several strong beds of quartzites 

 coarsely conglomeratic at base, resting on a crystalline felspar rock ; they 

 dip steadily at 30° S. E., and pass up into a conglomerate of rolled quartz, 

 alternating with thick, well-bedded, green trappean-looking grits, w _ hich 

 are succeeded by a white sandstone and purplish sandy micaceous grits." 

 The slope of the junction is greater here than we have yet seen it, about 

 the same as at Pandoah : there is nothing like a transition rock, still 

 there is some connection between the crystallines and the quartzites, " they 

 cannot be separated within a couple of feet ; there is a surface of the 

 former, the surface of the junction, showing the vertical divisions, and 

 being traversed by the quartz strings which do not penetrate the
