  About 
  12 
  miles 
  north-west 
  of 
  Sripermatoor, 
  fossiliferous 
  shales 
  

  

  occur 
  below 
  the 
  lateritic 
  gravel 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  

   Settorei 
  section. 
  

  

  Sattorei 
  (Suttry 
  of 
  map) 
  tank, 
  m 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  a 
  

  

  low 
  headland, 
  or 
  series 
  of 
  headlands, 
  rising 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  alluvium 
  of 
  

   the 
  Old 
  Palar 
  valley. 
  Close 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  tank 
  the 
  shales 
  

   are 
  grey 
  in 
  color 
  mottled 
  with 
  ferruginous 
  stains, 
  and 
  are 
  divided 
  into 
  

   several 
  beds 
  by 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  thin 
  beds 
  of 
  slightly 
  ferruginous 
  concre- 
  

   tionary 
  sandy 
  shales 
  with 
  more 
  highly 
  ferruginous 
  sandy 
  nodules. 
  The 
  

   vegetable 
  remains 
  found 
  by 
  me 
  in 
  the 
  shales 
  were 
  rude 
  stalk-like 
  

   impressions, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  more 
  gritty 
  parts 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  enclosed 
  

   nodules, 
  several 
  fair 
  specimens 
  of 
  unquestionably 
  Rajmakal 
  plants 
  

  

  were 
  discovered, 
  e. 
  g. 
  } 
  Stangerites, 
  &c. 
  The 
  

   Plant 
  remains. 
  ... 
  

  

  section 
  is 
  anything 
  but 
  clear 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  talus 
  

  

  of 
  lateritic 
  gravel, 
  and 
  the 
  friable 
  nature 
  of 
  the 
  underlying 
  rocks 
  

   themselves 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  one 
  very 
  small 
  rain 
  gully 
  where 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   section 
  was 
  less 
  obscured, 
  the 
  beds 
  appeared 
  to 
  dip 
  4° 
  to 
  5° 
  towards 
  a 
  point 
  

   between 
  north-east 
  by 
  east 
  and 
  east-north-east. 
  The 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  head- 
  

   lands 
  is 
  formed 
  by 
  a 
  bed 
  of 
  lateritic 
  gravel 
  with 
  pebbles 
  and 
  fragments 
  

   of 
  quartzite 
  ; 
  this 
  bed 
  is 
  about 
  3 
  feet 
  thick. 
  Half 
  a 
  mile 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  of 
  

   this 
  headland 
  at 
  a 
  spot 
  where 
  the 
  talus 
  did 
  not 
  obscure 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   slope, 
  the 
  lowest 
  bed 
  in 
  the 
  section 
  was 
  seen 
  to 
  consist 
  of 
  whitish 
  

   shaley 
  clay, 
  which 
  also 
  shows 
  in 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  irrigation 
  channel 
  

   running 
  into 
  the 
  Settorei 
  tank 
  ; 
  this 
  clay 
  is 
  overlaid 
  by 
  friable 
  buff 
  sand- 
  

   stone 
  and 
  local 
  patches 
  of 
  tesselated 
  ironstone 
  concretions. 
  A 
  few 
  

   yards 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  of 
  this 
  a 
  fair 
  section 
  occurs 
  at 
  

   the 
  north 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  Keesary 
  (Reesary 
  of 
  map) 
  tank, 
  

   which 
  shows 
  a 
  very 
  slight 
  anticlinal 
  roll 
  in 
  the 
  several 
  beds 
  exposed. 
  

   The 
  general 
  dip 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  is 
  easterly, 
  at 
  an 
  angle 
  of 
  8° 
  or 
  9°, 
  but 
  at 
  

   the 
  west 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  section, 
  the 
  two 
  lowest 
  beds, 
  the 
  clays 
  and 
  friable 
  

   sandstones 
  just 
  referred 
  to, 
  dip 
  If 
  to 
  2° 
  west. 
  The 
  beds 
  are 
  then 
  cut 
  off 
  

   by 
  the 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  ground, 
  so 
  it 
  cannot' 
  be 
  seen 
  whether 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  real
