FLEMING ON THE SALT RANGE OF THE PUNJAUB. 



191 



scientific works) that some distinguished geologists have entertained 

 a similar opinion. 



In order to do some justice to the able researches of my young 

 friend, I have sketched out a rough geological map of the Upper 

 Punjaub, adding a few names to those ridges which, traversed by 

 the Jelum and the Indus, have not yet found their way into any 

 pubhshed map.

In calling attention to this map, I would now simply remark that 

 the Salt Range, varying from 2000 to 5000 feet above the sea, may 

 be considered as the first great step in ascending from the plains of 

 the Lower Punjaub. The Murree and Mooshpoora Hills form the 

 second and third ledges, the one rising to about 7000, and the other 

 to near 10,000 feet. Further north, and parallel to them, is the 

 major axis of the great Valley of Cashmeer, and finallv the last grand 

 parallel— the mighty Himalava.
