EUNDELCUND. 9,5 



the Punna sandstone is under the limestone of the Rewah plateau, his 



Kuttra beds. 



An opinion coinciding in a remarkable manner with that of Dr. 



Carter, has been more recently published, and by 

 A. Schlagintweit. 



an actual observer. In the Report of the progress 



of the Magnetic Survey, &c, from November 1855 to April 1856, Mr. 

 Adolphe Schlagintweit has given some of his conclusions regarding this 

 district. * I will here only notice one statement, as to which my ob- 

 servations differ in an important degree from those of Mr. Schlagintweit. 

 In speaking of these rocks (which we have called Vindhyan) he says, 

 " in some localities the distinct stratification is clearly visible ; and the 

 " sandstones, more or less horizontal, repose contrary to the ordinary laws 

 " of conformity upon the out-crop of the inclined shales underneath ; this 

 " is the case in the Gwalior territory, in Bangapilly, Cuddapah, &c." The 

 only strata near Gwalior, (those of Dholepoor, Nourabad,) which at 

 all resemble the Vindhyan sandstones, except in the single fact of there 

 being sandstone above and shales below, preserve also the undisturbed 

 position and perfect conformity of their types in Bundelcund. The rocks 

 at Gwalior and immediately south of it, do present the feature noted by 

 Mr. Schlagintweit, but they are also petrographically very different from 

 the Vindhyan rocks.
