  In 
  the 
  bed 
  c 
  an 
  implement 
  most 
  unequivocally 
  in 
  situ 
  was 
  dis~ 
  

  

  First 
  implement 
  in 
  covered 
  by 
  my 
  colleague 
  Mr. 
  King, 
  who 
  accom- 
  

   situ 
  discovered 
  by 
  Mr. 
  . 
  

  

  King. 
  panied 
  me 
  when 
  examining 
  these 
  sections. 
  

  

  This 
  implement 
  was 
  almost 
  entirely 
  imbedded 
  in 
  the 
  hard 
  conglo- 
  

   merate, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  required 
  considerable 
  force 
  to 
  extract 
  it. 
  

  

  Fifteen 
  or 
  twenty 
  yards 
  further 
  down 
  the 
  gully 
  another 
  large 
  

   hatchet-shaped 
  implement 
  * 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  me 
  lying 
  in 
  situ 
  on 
  the 
  here 
  

   exposed 
  top 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  bed 
  <?, 
  fully 
  6 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  general 
  surface. 
  

   This 
  gully 
  section 
  and 
  some 
  others 
  opening 
  into 
  it 
  show 
  in 
  several 
  

   places 
  two 
  distinct 
  beds 
  of 
  lateritic 
  conglomerate 
  divided 
  by 
  sandy 
  clay 
  

   corresponding 
  with 
  the 
  bed 
  c 
  of 
  the 
  pagoda 
  gully 
  section 
  ; 
  in 
  other 
  

   places 
  the 
  sandy 
  clay 
  is 
  absent, 
  and 
  but 
  one 
  bed 
  of 
  laterite 
  seen. 
  

  

  About 
  half 
  a 
  mile 
  eastward 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  the 
  last 
  mentioned 
  

   two 
  implements 
  were 
  found, 
  and 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  junction 
  of 
  the 
  

   kalingula 
  gully 
  with 
  the 
  main 
  nullah, 
  the 
  following 
  series 
  of 
  beds 
  was 
  

   measured 
  in 
  the 
  bank 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  nullah 
  coming 
  from 
  the 
  south
