Kole Sir, where portions of the tertiary sandstones rise on the hill ob- 

 liquely, nearly connecting these beds with those of the valley south of 

 Lachee (Lachi) ridge. This is apparently accompanied or caused by dis- 

 location as well as extreme crushing and crumpling of the beds. A 



Inlet of tertiary sand- C0U P le of miles to the westward near the village 

 stones, &c. £ Qhoraudi, a deep ravine from the nummulitic 



limestone hills south of the valley is occupied by the purple and gray 

 sandstone and red clay of the tertiary sandstone series, apparently 

 brought into this strange position by a small divergent synclinal curva- 

 ture closely compressed and faulted. 



Ascending the hill above Ghoraudi, immediately upon leaving the 

 Hills south of Ghorau- tertiai T sandstone, &c, of the Murree group, and 

 dl ' crossing a small talus of limestone debris, the 



nummulitic rocks whence it is derived may be observed cropping out 

 strongly from the hillside instead of presenting an inclination more in 

 conformity with its slope, as is the case eastward of the narrow faulted 

 segment of the tertiary sandstones just now mentioned. On gaining 

 somewhat higher ground above, the strong nummulitic limestone is seen 

 to undulate boldly all over this part of the ridge, presenting numerous 

 scarps to the northward, which were well marked standing out from 

 snow that had lain some days when the place was visited. On the 

 opposite side of the valley, in a rather north-westerly direction, the smooth 

 anticlinal surfaces of the hills became broken, and bands of red clay 

 appeared intercalated with the limestone.* 



Continuing southward into the lower part of the Leeloohan 



(Lildhan) Durra or valley, a deep and narrow 



Valley 00 ^ ' g"l en :> these red clays were found high up on the 



southern sides of the hills cropping out among the 



contorted limestone beds, and were recognised as parts of the red clay 



* It is extremely doubtful if these red clays have any relation with the red zone. 

 They resemble it closely, but present a strong appearance of interstratification with the 

 limestones.
