 ed Vindhyan boulders appear, however, to indicate a glacial period, 

 quite as strongly as do the polished and striated boulders which have 

 elsewhere been found. 



In the Dauri section west of the last-named locality, and at the 

 corner of the loop bend east of Hurilong, there are pearly grey and 

 lavender-coloured, much false-bedded sandstones, which are the high- 

 est bed of this section. They present an extraordinary resemblance to 



Panchet beds. West of this section the Talchirs

are indistinctly traceable through Chercha up to 



the Koel, where they occupy a much narrowed zone, and are only seen 



on the western bank of the river near Hutar. 



Through Hutar and westwards they are found cropping out under 



the edge of the Barakars'^, till the vicinity of the

Cheinpur road is reached south of Nowadih. Here 



again they are traversed by trap, and in the streams from Banulat there 



is a somewhat complicated section in which Talchirs, Barakars, gneiss, and 



then again Talchirs are met with. This section can only be explained by 



supposing the Talchirs and Barakars to be cut off, as is represented on the 



map, by the main bounding fault. A section of a similarly cut-off patch 



is obscurely exposed in the streams and raviney ground south of Chupatsi. 



The marginal zone is further traceable in a number of sections up to the 



Atee river near Bijka. In the Sutgurhea, the shales in contact with the 



gneiss are permeated by veins of pseudomorphic

indications of induration and crushing; and the distorted junction 



exposed in the Atee section clearly proves the existence of a fault,
