BUNDELCUND. 55 



At 130 miles to the south-west, where the Beos, after cutting through 



the ridge of the Re wall sandstone, is joined by the 

 Beos Eiver. . . . 



bajulee, there is a section which nearly corres- 

 ponds to that just given, "thin bedded earthy limestones and calcareous 

 grits, quite undisturbed"; these are not the very bottom beds; the 

 coarse sandstone does not come in for some little way up the Beos. 



The two lines of reversed hill shading which may be seen on the map 



from some way west of the Tons to within about 



an equal distance of Saugor, do not at all give 

 the real features of the ridge they are meant to represent. The 

 northern line is well enough, save that it should have no gaps ; it 

 is the continuation of the scarp of Kuttra pass i. e. the north face of the 

 Rewah plateau, and all through it retains the features it has at Kuttra, 

 vertical cliff and steep undercliff. I have before noted that about the 

 Tons this scarp undergoes a certain change; to the east of this river it 

 runs obliquely across the strike of the formation, whereas here it has bent 

 round into this strike, obtaining thereby a considerable increase of eleva- 

 tion, although relatively to the outer plateau it becomes much lower — 

 the whole series rises against the N. E., S. W. boundary, while 

 the Rewah shales thin out : the drainage, which had naturally flowed 

 along the trough of the rocks and over the bold scarp between 

 Kuttra and the Tons, as naturally turns from that scarp when it 

 comes to coincide with this apparent anticlinal. In this S. W. ex- 

 tension the Rewah table-land takes the form of a wide valley, its 

 northerly limits being denned by a regular ridge instead of a mere 

 edge; it is this which the second line of shading is meant to show, 

 but instead of being, as the shading leads one to suppose, a decided 

 scarp, it is a most regular and gentle slope from the summit level, 

 which is immediately over the north scarp, down to the level of 

 the plateau : by choosing the ground, as along the new road 

 between Nagode and Bandah, one seems to keep on the same bed of
