TERTIARY SANDSTONES, CLAYS, &C. Ou 



are quite exceptional, and this is the only case of their occurrence 

 known here. 



Higher up in parts of the middle group, along with the timber 

 abovementioned, numerous large fragmentary bones and occasional teeth 

 or tusks occur in the soft greenish-gray sandstones of some localities ; 

 while towards the uppermost sub-division bone fragments are still to be 

 met with, and have been found beneath the boulder sandstones of Makud, 

 so that these osseous remains appear frequently, though sparsely, distri- 

 buted through the whole series : reptilian remains apparently charac- 

 terising its tawer part here as well as at Subathu according to Major 

 Vicary.* % 



Conformity. — So far as the relative positions of the sandstones and 

 clays to each other and to the nummulitic limestones are concerned, they 

 are all conformable, but the fact of absolute and entire conformity of 

 the whole series from the limestone upwards is not so clear. So much 

 conformity as is indicated by perfectly parallel succession and by a short 

 transition through highly calcareous sandstone (in some spots containing 

 bone fragments) at the junction of these limestone and sandstone beds, 

 (besides some other transitional features more limited in their range) 

 may be found in any clear section. Where the limestone has all but died 

 out, the part of it which disappears first is the lowest, and the upper 

 limestone beds with those of the absolute junction continue till even 

 these are gone and the contact layers alone remain to show that the 

 succession continued the same everywhere, whether the limestone was 

 present or not. 



Again, the rocks of the sandstone series nearest to the limestone arj 

 always the same lower or ' Murree' rocks where displacement has not 

 occurred. One peculiar band of small calcareous concretions disposed to 

 weather separately, occurring over a large space close to the uppermost
