c. Ked shales 3'6'' of the same type as those seen in the Lawa sec- 

 tion (7). 

 I. Ferruginous yellow and variegated sandstones and shales with bands 

 of iron ore, with an irregular band of gritty sandstone of about 

 8' thickness, thinning out to about 1'6'' within a distance of 20 

 yards. The dip is rolling, about 5° to north-west. 

 In places where the upper beds are denuded, this sandstone is over- 

 laid by a coarse breccia consisting chiefly of fra^;ments of Mahadeva- 

 like sandstone, ironstone nodules, with rolled fragments of 

 metamorphic rocks cemented together by a matrix of ferruginous 

 matter, the whole, however, only of recent origin. 

 a. Whitish-grey marly shales with — 

 Glossopteris angustifolia, Bgt. 



„ communis, Fstra., and 



Thinnfeldia-Yike ferns. 

 Ascending the southern branch o£ the Ledho nullah, south of Salsull, 

 T got again into the Raniganj group dipping below the above beds of 

 Panchet type. 



12. — Sections between Karamdiha and No. 506 H. T., including the Lower 

 Ledho, Chorki, and Kundkepi Nullahs. 



The river bed between Karamdiha and Bhalui is so sandy that only 

 few exposures are met with, but it is probable that the isolated cliffs seen 

 belong to the Panchet group, being a continuation of the Panchets of the 

 upper Ledho nullah. The first rock in situ is found in the great bend of 

 the river about a mile west of the village, where iu descending order I 

 found •. — 



Panchets. f. Yellow marly clays with ferruginous nodules, 

 e. Eed marls. 

 d. Yellow marly clays. 

 c. Light grey marly shales, very friable. 



h. Dark and variegated clay shales, towards top micaceous and shaly, with 

 Glossopteris communis, Fstm. 

 Pecopteris ? odontopteroides, M. * 



a. Light grey marly shales and clays, very friable. 



The dip is rolling, but generally to the south; the whole is overlaid by 

 thick-bedded masses of grits with strings of pebbles very similar to the 

 Lundra grits which will be described further on.
