  there 
  is 
  a 
  good 
  section 
  showing 
  about 
  80 
  feet 
  of 
  alternating 
  coaly 
  shales 
  

   and 
  sandstone 
  with 
  a 
  dip 
  of 
  20° 
  to 
  north-north-west. 
  

  

  At, 
  and 
  west 
  of, 
  the 
  Sitariva 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  region 
  of 
  special 
  disturbance 
  

   On 
  and 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  The 
  whole 
  ^ck-series 
  is 
  broken 
  up 
  by 
  a 
  sharp 
  

   Sitanva. 
  anticlinal 
  flexure; 
  in 
  consequence 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  

  

  scarp 
  is 
  weathered 
  back 
  along 
  the 
  southern 
  dip 
  to 
  about 
  a 
  mile 
  south 
  of 
  

   the 
  normal 
  run 
  of 
  the 
  boundary. 
  In 
  the 
  Sitariva 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  remnant 
  

   seen 
  of 
  the 
  beds 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  limb 
  of 
  the 
  anticlinal, 
  including, 
  at 
  top, 
  

   some 
  150 
  feet 
  of 
  the 
  coarse 
  conglomerates 
  and 
  red 
  clays, 
  quite 
  vertical. 
  

   At 
  the 
  very 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  hills 
  here, 
  there 
  are 
  some 
  local 
  courses 
  of 
  dolo- 
  

   mitic 
  limestone 
  in 
  the 
  clay. 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  prevalence 
  of 
  the 
  earthy 
  element 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  group 
  

   Local 
  difficulties 
  of 
  on 
  ^ 
  e 
  Sitariva, 
  the 
  separation 
  is 
  easily 
  made 
  at 
  

   separation. 
  many 
  places 
  for 
  several 
  miles 
  up 
  the 
  gorge 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  river. 
  Elsewhere, 
  as 
  along 
  the 
  western 
  scarp 
  of 
  the 
  Sitariva 
  hills, 
  

   facing 
  the 
  Dudhi 
  valley, 
  it 
  is 
  often 
  difficult 
  to 
  separate 
  the 
  Bagra 
  group, 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  prevalence 
  of 
  sandstone 
  in 
  it. 
  This 
  is 
  most 
  marked 
  at 
  the 
  

   north-west 
  angle 
  of 
  these 
  hills, 
  where 
  the 
  group 
  is 
  certainly 
  in 
  force, 
  

   and 
  close 
  to 
  which, 
  in 
  an 
  outlying 
  hill 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Dudhi 
  at 
  Kampti 
  

   (not 
  the 
  Kampti 
  of 
  Nagpur), 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  section 
  of 
  characteristic 
  rusty 
  

   red 
  and 
  pale 
  brown 
  clays, 
  pink 
  and 
  dun 
  limestone, 
  with 
  subordinate 
  

   sandstones, 
  all 
  locally 
  conglomeritic. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Chatar-Doria 
  hills, 
  between 
  the 
  Dudhi 
  and 
  the 
  Anjan, 
  the

  is 
  ^P^ally 
  displayed. 
  Here 
  again 
  

   hllls- 
  the 
  hard 
  silicious 
  limestone 
  and 
  hornstone 
  of 
  the 
  

  

  metamorphics 
  form 
  a 
  fringing 
  ridge, 
  against 
  which, 
  on 
  the 
  south, 
  coarse 
  

   red 
  conglomerates, 
  just 
  like 
  those 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Sitariva, 
  are 
  packed 
  in 
  

   massive 
  banks. 
  At 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  these 
  some 
  strong 
  courses 
  of 
  limestone 
  

   are 
  seen 
  quite 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  boundary, 
  in 
  the 
  Dorli 
  stream. 
  Away 
  from 
  the 
  

   main 
  boundary 
  the 
  conglomerate 
  gradually 
  decreases, 
  passing 
  into 
  clays,
