20. — Section in the Morne near Farasdiha. 

 Between the junction of the Morne and the Budatand river and 

 Pavasdiha nullahs there is a succession of beds of Barakar type shattered 

 by a series of parallel faults of north-20°-west and south-20°"east direc- 

 tion. I observed not less than four distinct faults in that portion of the 

 section. The dip is very varying, and rolls from 5° north-west to about 5° 

 east ; but the section is too much covered by recent deposits to afford 

 opportunities for study. Between the junction of the Parasdiha with the 

 Morne river and the junction of the latter with the Satnachna; I obtained 

 a very broken and faulted section of Ranig-anj beds as follows : —
