  Outliers 
  oe 
  the 
  Sripermatoor 
  area. 
  — 
  Four 
  principal 
  outliers 
  con- 
  

   nected 
  with 
  this 
  area 
  have 
  been 
  alluded 
  to 
  before, 
  and 
  have 
  now 
  to 
  be 
  

   described. 
  They 
  are 
  respectively— 
  

  

  Istly. 
  — 
  An 
  important 
  out-crop 
  of 
  unquestionably 
  Rajmahal 
  beds, 
  

  

  situated 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  Corteliar 
  

  

  alluvium, 
  and 
  about 
  10 
  or 
  11 
  miles 
  north-west 
  

  

  of 
  Sripermatoor. 
  The 
  most 
  important 
  section 
  occurs 
  near 
  the 
  village 
  

  

  of 
  Settorei, 
  and 
  exhibits 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  beds 
  closely 
  allied 
  in 
  lithological 
  

  

  character 
  to 
  the 
  typical 
  Sripermatoor 
  beds. 
  

  

  %ndly. 
  — 
  An 
  extensive 
  series 
  of 
  sandstones 
  and 
  shaley 
  beds, 
  probably 
  

  

  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Rajmahal 
  age, 
  exhibited 
  in 
  an 
  

  

  artificially 
  made 
  section, 
  by 
  which 
  the 
  waters 
  of 
  

  

  the 
  Cuum 
  river 
  are 
  led 
  into 
  the 
  great 
  Sembarampakkam 
  tank 
  (near 
  

  

  Poonamallee), 
  at 
  Panjur, 
  9 
  miles 
  north-east 
  of 
  Sripermatoor. 
  

  

  Srdly. 
  — 
  A 
  very 
  similar 
  series 
  of 
  sandstones 
  and 
  shales, 
  apparently 
  

   belonging 
  to 
  the 
  Rajmahal 
  age, 
  occurring 
  at 
  

   Coopoor, 
  about 
  10 
  miles 
  north-north-east 
  of 
  

   Sripermatoor. 
  

  

  Uhly. 
  — 
  A 
  series 
  of 
  similar 
  shales 
  occurring 
  at 
  Perumalpett 
  (Per- 
  

  

  maulnaigput 
  of 
  sheet 
  78), 
  and 
  also 
  referable 
  to 
  

   Perumalpett. 
  . 
  

  

  the 
  Rajmahal 
  series. 
  

  

  Besides 
  these, 
  there 
  are 
  2 
  other 
  trifling 
  outliers 
  of 
  Rajmahal 
  

   rocks, 
  the 
  one 
  an 
  out-crop 
  of 
  gritty 
  sands 
  3^ 
  miles 
  north-east 
  by 
  

   north 
  of 
  the 
  Settorei 
  section; 
  and 
  the 
  other 
  an 
  out-crop 
  of 
  clayey 
  

   shales 
  in 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  a 
  bowrie 
  at 
  Puttam, 
  7 
  miles 
  north-west 
  of 
  

   Sripermatoor. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  of 
  these 
  four 
  sections 
  must 
  certainly 
  be 
  considered 
  as 
  a 
  

  

  link 
  between 
  the 
  Sripermatoor 
  area 
  and 
  the 
  underlying 
  beds 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  Pyanoor 
  area.
