THE GROUND WESTWARD OF LACHEE. 81 



zone found everywhere beneath these nummulitic limestones, their 

 exposure here being probably aided by obscure faults of no great amount. 

 Before reaching the Leeloohan (Liluhan) valley, as well as within it, the 

 tertiary sandstones are met with again, separated by a rib of the num- 

 mulitic limestone. In this valley, for some miles 

 ru e , rtial Jfu S ! onesin ' above Momee (Momi) Khe'l, the sandstones and 



folded and faulted. v ' 



clays are vertical, striking up the glen, along the 



southern side of which the limestone rises abruptly with a scarped face 



as if separated by a fault from the sandstone beds. 



Above this feature there is a small exposure of gypsum among the 

 limestone hills south of Shukkar Khel between the Leeloohan (Liluhan) 

 glen and the larger Teeree (Tiri) valley. The general section across 

 the hills mentioned is shown in Fig. 4. 1. Red clay in £, Nummulitic 

 limestone. 3. Tertiary sandstone and clay. F. Faults. 



This small section* of some four or five miles in length will convey 

 an idea o£ the frequently complex and highly con- 

 torted or dislocated state of the nummulitic and 

 overlying rocks in this country. At the first glance one might suppose 

 the vertical sandstones the oldest, and that the limestones had been re- 

 moved from above them in the valleys by denudation, but this is shown 

 not to have been the case, independently of other proof, by the folding of 

 some of the same vertical rocks into the section at the north side of the 

 Leeloohan (Liluhan) glen. 



Westwards towards Deh Oomar (De I/mar) the hills rise and the 

 nummulitic limestone spreads out, rolling over them with one larger 

 synclinal than the rest, corresponding to the termination of the Ghoraudi 

 valley. To the north and north-westward high nummulitic ground only 

 could be seen, and it was asserted that in these directions the tertiary 

 sandstones were rarely to be found among the hills or in the Bungush 

 valley.
