and Nummulite limestone sweeping boldly downwards and plunging 

 beneath highly inclined beds of the tertiary sandstone series along the 

 foot of the ridge on both flanks. Close to the limestone the beds are steady 

 and nearly vertical, but further out in the valleys contortions are seen. 



Along the sides of this Lachee (Lachi) ridge a feature not uncom- 



Junction scarp of lime- mon ma ^ be observed at the junction of the lime- 

 stone - stone and sandstone. It is this — the strong and 



steeply dipping limestone shows a low scarp on the dip side as if it had 

 in places given way under the tension accompanying its contortion, and 

 the debris from the face of the cliff thus produced, added to that which 

 travelled down the slope, renders it almost impossible to observe absolute 

 contact at such localities. 



The following succession was observed close to Lachee (Lachi) old 

 salt -pits : — Fig. 3. —
