Varieties of bedding. 



Fallen blocks. 



In some parts of the country these sandstones are much less regularly 

 bedded than in the Mahadeva scarps themselves. 

 Unbedded masses, a hundred feet thick, are often 

 seen, and false bedding among these, is very common, and often very 

 complicated and capricious. 



Some of the glens are crowded with large blocks of the beds which 

 are exposed high up the hill side, as has been al- 

 ready noticed with regard to the Hurd glen; and 

 some of these fallen fragments are of very great size ; one was measured 

 which amounted to 5560 cubic feet. 



Sometimes the great sandstone masses weather out into very oddly 

 shaped hills. The highest peaks of the Puchmurri group, as seen from 

 the plain of the Nerbudda valley, offer a remarkable instance of this. 

 From this, as indeed more or less from all sides, these summits assume a 

 variety and grotesqueness of outline which must strike any one passing 

 along the road from Nursingpore to Hosungabad. The sketch Fig. 9
