BUNDELCUND. 4d 



beds are going at 30° to N. E. ; a little way above this, the thin pure 

 siliceous sandstones come in again and in a similar state ; from being almost 

 horizontal, they suddenly dip to S. at 60°, and to E. at 40°, the breccia 

 being again found at the bend : an undulating section shows for some way, 

 and then all dip to W. S. W. In the gorge north of Chopra " the thin 

 siliceous beds, and their derivative contortion-breccia, show every degree 

 of dip, the covering sandstones filling in the hollows caused by the twist- 

 ing and denudation of the older rock, and further down the red sandstone, 

 and sanely shales show a similar condition/ Analogous sections could be 

 produced from all the gorges along to Heerapore : and towards the centre 

 of the Bijawur area there is no change ; in the hills to S. E. of Soorujpoor 

 similar slaty shales with red, earthy, sometimes pebbly, sandstone, are seen 

 horizontal for some little way, and close by may be dipping to any point 

 of the compass ; there seems to have been hardly any dominant direction 

 of disturbing force. I did not any where get the breccia with the appear- 

 ance of being interstratified ; it seems to be a kind

or fault rock, or contortion-breccia: this origin 



however can scarcely be supposed for the lower junction breccia, though 

 the rocks are often undistinguishable. 



Trap rocks take a prominent part among the Bfjawurs ; they are not 



at all like the trap already noticed towards the 



Kane, they are hard crystalline diorites, and though 



affecting a general strike, show many exceptions ; some show angular, 



others spheroidal decomposition. 



The upper Bijawurs in the western portion of their area do not differ 

 from what we have seen ; they are not well exposed, the ground being 

 mostly flat ; they have perhaps a more constant strike. In the river at 

 Baita, near their final extinction, the same red sandy shales and sand- 

 stones are inclined at a high angle to S. by W. 



The most remarkable of the Bijawur rocks remains to be mentioned, 

 that from which all the iron ore is obtained. It has been left to the
