  The 
  Talchi'ii 
  group. 
  

  

  This 
  group 
  also 
  is 
  too 
  familiar 
  to 
  require 
  much 
  notice. 
  Its 
  greenish 
  

   and 
  pinkish 
  earthy 
  sandstones 
  and 
  fine 
  silt-beds, 
  with 
  its 
  characteristic 
  

   glacial 
  boulders, 
  are 
  alike 
  everywhere. 
  They 
  occur 
  continuously 
  along 
  the 
  

   southern 
  boundary 
  ; 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  they 
  are 
  only 
  found 
  at 
  isolated 
  

   spots. 
  Omitting 
  the 
  doubtful 
  occurrence 
  at 
  Sehora, 
  on 
  the 
  Sher, 
  the 
  most 
  

   easterly 
  of 
  these 
  outcrops 
  is 
  Nibhora 
  ; 
  some 
  green 
  silt 
  with 
  boulders 
  is 
  

   obscurely 
  seen 
  where 
  the 
  run 
  of 
  schists 
  ends, 
  and 
  is 
  rapidly 
  overlapped 
  by 
  

   the 
  Bagra 
  red 
  clays 
  and 
  conglomerates. 
  On 
  the 
  Sitariva 
  the 
  Talchirs 
  are 
  

   well 
  exposed 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  of 
  the 
  denuded 
  anticlinal 
  flexure, 
  passing 
  up 
  

   conformably 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  into 
  the 
  Barakar 
  beds. 
  In 
  the 
  gorge 
  of 
  the 
  

   Anjan, 
  a 
  mile 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  above 
  Fatehpiir, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  inlier 
  of 
  Tal- 
  

   chirs 
  ; 
  here, 
  too, 
  they 
  are 
  connected 
  with 
  a 
  flexure. 
  A 
  mile 
  further 
  down 
  

   stream 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  ridge 
  of 
  schists 
  protruding 
  through 
  the 
  conglomerates 
  

   without 
  any 
  intervening 
  Talchirs. 
  Three 
  miles 
  further 
  west, 
  about 
  

   Bargondi 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  Amadi 
  stream, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  irregular 
  patch 
  of 
  

   Talchirs 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  north-north-west 
  the 
  beds 
  are 
  crushed 
  against 
  the 
  steep 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  ridge 
  of 
  metamorphics, 
  and 
  elsewhere 
  are 
  flatly 
  overlaid 
  by 
  the 
  

   Bagra 
  beds. 
  This 
  area 
  is 
  only 
  separated 
  by 
  about 
  a 
  mile 
  of 
  overlap- 
  

   ping 
  conglomerate 
  from 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  spread 
  of 
  Talchirs 
  in 
  the 
  neigh- 
  

   bourhood 
  of 
  Anhoni. 
  On 
  the 
  east 
  it 
  wraps 
  round 
  the 
  broad 
  irregular 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  metamorphic 
  ridge; 
  along 
  the 
  northern 
  side 
  it 
  is 
  opeu 
  

   to 
  the 
  plains, 
  the 
  rock 
  in 
  contact 
  being 
  trap. 
  In 
  this 
  area, 
  especially 
  

   near 
  the 
  ridge 
  of 
  schists, 
  the 
  prevailing 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  Talchir 
  clay 
  is 
  

   a 
  dull 
  purple.
