In the Sukri, west of Mungra, the Barakar beds are covered up by 

 soft yellow false-bedded sandstones, with rare bands of calcareous sand- 

 stones. The transition to the Panchets is not well marked, and the 



position of the boundary consequently doubtful.

In fact, when first examined I thought I had but 

 one group to deal with. The dip of these yellow beds averages 15°,

In the southern branch of the Sukri occurs the already described 



junction near Pukrar, which appears to indicate internal overlap in the 



Raniganjes. Another section of these beds is

ripple-marked Barakar sandstones and carbonaceous shales, there are 

 yellow sandstones, with carbonaceous shales, having the same dip of about 

 55°. These are succeeded by fine yellow sandstones and sandy shales, with 

 dips falling from west-south-west 42.°, to west 15° and west 5°, upon which 

 rests a bed of gritty sandstone that should probably be regarded as the base 

 bed of the Panchets ; resting upon it there are gently rolling greenish ^nd
