16. Hard thin-bedded sandstone with micaceous bauds.

14. Thin bed of hard sandstone. 



13. Dark clay sliales ... ... ... 4' 6'' 



12. Coal, with shaly partings, thickness ... 7' 4" 



11. Eeddish-banded micaceous sandstone. 

 Dip 40° W. 20° N. 10. Dark-grey very hard clay. 



■ 9. Thin irregular bed of felspathic grit.

 red ; traces of fossils. 



6. Thin-bedded grits, towards base micaceous. 



5. Friable grey shales.

 Dip 35° W. 20° N. 3. Banded shaly sandstones, traces of fossils. 



2. Micaceous shaly sandstone, very cai-bonaceous. 



I. Dark hard conchoidal shales. 



The section ends against Panchet beds along a fault. 



The section in the Suknai nullah is evidently a continuous one, as is 

 proved by the coal-seam ; the 7' 4* coal-seam bed 12 of the last sec- 

 tion is probably identical with the 7' seam of the Lundra (Belia) section, 

 and I identified this seam and nearly the whole group of beds in the 

 following section. 



i7. — Section along the Nullah north-west of Banka Khar. 

 Between the Mahadeva escarpment and the Morne river, I found the 

 following beds in descending order : 



No exposure for some distance ; just below 

 the Mahadevas are whitish grits and 

 clays, which probably beloug to Pan- 

 chefs. 

 18. Shales with coal ... ... ... 3' 6" 



17. Sandstone. 



16. Shales with a thin carbonaceous layer ... 1' 6" 



15. Sandstone. 



14. Shales ... ... ... 0' 6" 



13. Coal ... ... ... ... 2' 2" 



12. Thin splitting shales.
