MORNK SECTIONS. 61 



No exposure for some distance. 

 4. Raniganj. Fine-graiued ferruginous grits. 



No exposure seen for some distance. 

 3. Barakars. c. Shales and sandstones of Barakar type. 



b. Coal-seam, 7' thickness. Strike north 30'^ east to soulli 



30° west : dip 9° north 30"* west. 

 a. Sandstone, worn out in potholes, 

 2. Talchirs. Same succession as that seen in the Hadrai nullah. In the 

 southernmost part of the Lundra sections the belt of Talchirs is only 

 about a quarter of a mile in width ; near Pandauli village it is nearly 

 a mile wide, but forms now only a thin plastering over the metamov- 

 phics. North-east of Pandauli the Talchirs are worn away, and the 

 underlying granite is exposed for some distance, forming an island as it 

 were in the Talchirs. 

 1. Granite. 

 About a mile west of Lundra village the Panchet grits are again cut 

 off by a north-west to south-east fault, which brings them into direct 

 contact with the Barakars, which are well exposed in the Suknai nullah. 

 The sections shown in the Tabor and similar nullahs are greatly 

 obscured .by alluvial sands, and do not afford good material for observa- 

 tions. Similar clays and grits, as before described, are seen at intervals iu 

 the rivers and show a rolling dip, and in a red clay, containing lumps of 

 haematite, Vertehraria indica, Royle, and Glossopteris communis, Pstm., were 

 found; the bed corresponds exactly with bed 30 of the following section. 

 Below Udhari I came suddenly on Barakars, of exactly the same type as 

 seen in the neighbouring Suknai nullah ; and west of Lundra, in the 

 Suknai nullah itself (south-east of the Sarsera), a faulted boundary be- 

 tween the Barakars and Panchet grits is clearly shown. 



16. — The section in the Suknai Nullah, letween Sarsera and the junc- 

 tion with the Morne River. 

 In descending order as follows : —
