ciated with these, It cuts them all, and brings each in turn opposite to 



the conglomerate and sandstone of the Mahadevas. 



Proceeding along this boundary to the east from Mopani on the 



Sitariva, we corne to the village of Dilheri (see 

 Dilheri section. v 



map) near which a section may be examined, 



and again to that described near Futtipur. Here, however, we have an 



excellent example of the two-fold nature of the Mahadeva boundary.

A 

 Fig. 15 represents two parallel spurs which stretch down towards 



the north from the range behind Dilheri, they are in the diagram 

 placed parallel to each other, as they occur in nature, and are re- 

 presented in section. The fault, (/) which in one brings the Mahadeva 

 beds (a) against the crystalline rocks, in the other affects only the latter ; 

 and in this second spur the natural shore boundary of the Mahadeva 

 rocks is seen. The village of Dilheri stands in a gorge of the lower 



part of the range. If from it we ascend the first

mentioned spur, we find the crystalline rocks up 



to about three hundred feet above the valley, where (at the point a.) 

 the beds of the Mahadeva sandstone are reached. If we descend 

 from this point down the side of the spur, the junction of the schists 

 with the sandstone will be well seen. Its line on the hill side cor- 

 responds to a nearly vertical plane, and at the bottom of the glen 



the sandstone is still found abutting against,

 other spur the Mahadevas, found at about the same height above
