BUNDELCUND. 41 



200 yards: schist 10 ; trap 150: blank 300: and then the green stone 

 and the ribboned schist at Gerar: the nest rock is half a mile up, a soft 

 grey Bijawur grit. 



I have already signalized as a bottom-rock of the Bijawurs, a hard 

 massive siliceous breccia: though not showing immediately on the E. of 

 the Dessaun, it is enormously developed on the west — not that I can 

 assert it to be all thickness, but it makes a great show at surface, and 

 continues to form a bounding ridge for some way. In the Bundai river 

 near Burwur, the ribboned schists noticed at Gerar run obliquely into 

 the breccia ridge, they seem rather broken and bent, so as to continue 

 for a short way in front of it and even with a southerly underlie — I 

 think this must be a faulted contact. This ribboned schist does not 

 appear any where again, it is a very marked rock and I may just 

 notice that it is identical with a rock found south of the Sone, and again 

 in the same geological belt, at Gosulpoor, north of Jubbulpore. 



At and beyond Burwur the rocks north of the breccia ridge are those 

 same crystalloid gneissose rocks, often conglomeratic ; at last north of 

 Putna the breccia becomes surrounded by these granitoid schists, without 

 any change of strike, and it is not different from itself when associated 

 with ordinary Bijawur sandstones and shales. 



Alono - such a section it is not to be expected that a boundary shall 



be very exact ; mine is perhaps scarcely consistent throughout ; in 



this western portion I have coloured beds as Bijawur, the possible 



representatives of which have been elsewhere excluded. Along the 



north boundary of the eastern Bijawur area there is a sure proof of 



the complete distinctness of the crystallines in contact, those massive 



ribs of quartz, so common about there, traversing the granitic rocks, 



often run direct up against the quartzite or breccia forming the base 



of the Bijawurs, and seem to have undergone denudation prior to 



that period.
