this is very evident for a distance of 15 or 20 miles to the south-east 



of this line, as far as the disappearance of the Rewah sandstone ; and 



this is the inclination most often detected in the Bundair shales. 



In the gorge of the Kane these facts are well seen — the bottom beds 



which on the Pulkoa hill and at Gungour are at 

 Seen in Kane river. „_„ „ , . , , ' 



some 200 to 300 feet over the water-level, cut the 



river a little above Keriani ; away from the actual edge the slope is not 

 rapid ; the top beds of the Kymore sandstones do not reach the river till 

 Giree, where there are falls about 50 feet high, their level here must be 

 some 400 feet lower than on the top of the outer scarp; in going to Giree 

 from the north one walks in a gorge of the Rewah ridge and on the edge 

 of a narrower gorge in the Kymore sandstone until, at Giree, the latter 

 ends in the falls; the section here exposed is very distinct, indeed it is 

 almost the only satisfactory actual junction I have seen of the 

 Rewah shales and Kymore sandstones. " The river runs for a 

 short way along the strike, leaving when not in flood, great spreads 

 of unbroken sandstone with an inclination of about 3° to south 

 by east ; where the river flows to the north again, the overlying 

 thin beds, so hard to get a look at, are well seen — thin (1 to 

 3 inch,) beds of a dark gray micaceous sandy concretionary shale, alter- 

 nating with similar layers of sandstone and grit, the bottom bed is as 

 earthy as any, though resting on a thick bed of Kymore coarse sandstone; 

 on the surface of this bed there are pebbles of quartz and jasper and some 

 small sub- angular blocks of a glazed sandstone. If the dip of any one sand- 

 stone bed were prolonged it would cut the top of the Rewah ridge within 

 a mile; yet, when the general surface of the group is seen in section 

 across the strike, it does not seem to undercut these beds from the north ; 

 this false appearance of unconformity seems the natural result of the flat 

 lenticular form of thick sandstone beds. 



There is nothing in this junction to make one suspect any great 

 change of circumstances, the thin layers of sandstone among the shales
