  a 
  deep 
  accumulation 
  of 
  newer 
  deposits. 
  This 
  objection 
  may 
  be 
  fortified 
  

   by 
  the 
  remark, 
  that 
  along" 
  the 
  inner 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  existing 
  ridges 
  of 
  

   metamorphics, 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  general 
  compression 
  was 
  communicated 
  

   to 
  the 
  contiguous 
  deposits, 
  this 
  structure 
  does 
  not 
  obtain, 
  as 
  has 
  already 
  

   been 
  exhibited 
  in 
  several 
  sections, 
  and 
  as 
  will 
  be 
  further 
  illustrated. 
  

   The 
  prima 
  facie 
  explanation 
  would 
  certainly 
  be 
  a 
  fault 
  with 
  a 
  down- 
  

   throw 
  on 
  the 
  north. 
  But 
  in 
  a 
  possibly 
  analogous 
  case 
  in 
  another 
  

   geological 
  field,* 
  it 
  was 
  found, 
  that 
  such 
  a 
  structure 
  had 
  to 
  be 
  accounted 
  

   for 
  by 
  the 
  tilting 
  tendency 
  accompanying 
  the 
  action 
  of 
  compression, 
  and 
  

   specialized 
  along 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  junction 
  ; 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  having 
  a 
  set 
  to 
  

   depression 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  boundary, 
  and 
  thus 
  determining 
  an 
  

   anticlinal 
  bend 
  in 
  the 
  yielding 
  rocks 
  near 
  the 
  boundary. 
  If 
  the 
  analogy 
  

   here 
  suggested 
  were 
  rigidly 
  applied, 
  this 
  c 
  set' 
  would 
  imply 
  the 
  sinking 
  

   of 
  an 
  elevated 
  mass 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  boundary 
  ; 
  but 
  this 
  is 
  not 
  

   a 
  necessary 
  condition. 
  

  

  This 
  section 
  on 
  the 
  Anjan 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  in 
  the

  ridges

  The 
  

  

  trend 
  of 
  these 
  rocks 
  does 
  not 
  run 
  strictly 
  parallel 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  boundary 
  

   of 
  the 
  basin 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  oblique 
  to 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  latitude. 
  The 
  point 
  above 
  

   Fatehpur 
  is 
  the 
  termination 
  of 
  the 
  Bagraj 
  and 
  Deori 
  ridge. 
  At 
  three 
  

   miles 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  Anjan, 
  on 
  the 
  strike 
  of 
  the 
  boundary, 
  another 
  

   ridge 
  commences 
  at 
  Pindrai 
  ; 
  disappearing 
  in 
  its 
  turn 
  to 
  the 
  west-south- 
  

   west, 
  near 
  Anhoni. 
  To 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  metamorphic 
  ridge 
  in 
  the 
  

   Anjan, 
  the 
  strata 
  are 
  less 
  conglomeritic 
  than 
  those 
  to 
  the 
  south, 
  the 
  

   uppermost 
  beds 
  at 
  the 
  boundary 
  being 
  earthy 
  sandstone 
  and 
  clays. 
  As 
  

   already 
  suggested 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  clays 
  at 
  Jhiria, 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  accounted 
  

   for 
  by 
  deposition 
  in 
  a 
  more 
  sheltered 
  position 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  equally 
  suggests 
  

   the 
  indefinite 
  spread 
  of 
  the 
  deposits 
  northwards, 
  beyond 
  the 
  present
