NORTHERN WATERSHED OF THE TEEREE TOWEY BASIN. 85 



Swani Sir part of the section once stood higher relatively to the rest : 

 and after it subsided, the southern portion also sank, most probably along 

 another line of fault. The ground is, however, very obscure, and 

 where the best sections might be expected to be found, is overgrown by 

 grass, KaOj and other bushes; a most exceptional occurrence in this 

 country. 



Less than two miles eastward of this section the gypsum is seen to 



Gypsum in interior of 0CC1 W the interior of an anticlinal fold or nose 

 an anticlinal. f ^e nU mmulitic limestone, bright red clay in- 



tervening between these two as shown upon the map. Some of the brown 

 Lower nummaHtic sand- conglomeratic sandstones appear here also closely 

 stone - associated with the red clays, but so obscurely 



placed that it would be rash to say which was the newer rock, the pro- 

 bability being, however, that these brown sandstones are next older, 

 in the local series, to the red clay over the gypsum, and thus older than 

 the nummulitic limestones. The exterior portion of this anticlinal 

 towards the Teeree valley shows nothing of anticlinal form, the 

 nummulitic limestone dipping steeply the wrong way and presenting an 

 escarpment to the south. Within the apex of the curve and on its 

 northern side the beds assume their proper order, passing beneath a 

 portion of the lower tertiary sandstone series, which is faulted into a 

 small valley between the anticlinal and the western part of Shah or 

 Swani mountain. 



For six miles to the eastward of this place, as far as the mouth of the 

 Month of Leeloohan Leeloohan (LiMhan) glen, the nummulitic lime- 

 (Lfluhan) valley. stone presents a strong scarp to the south, rising 



above crushed and contorted folds in the tertiary sandstones along its 

 base, these sandstones, where a general dip can be observed, appearing to 

 incline towards rather than away from the limestone. The feature is 

 suggestive of a fault, but where inversion prevails to such an extent as it 

 does here, this is quite sufficient to account for the anomalous positions 

 of the rocks, though faulting may also occur.
