NORTHERN WATERSHED OF THE TEEREE TOWE1 BASIN. 99 



and bordered by the red clay zone,, which constantly underlies this lime- 

 stone. Just at the place where the salt occurs there is a deep narrow 

 valley leading the drainage to the Indus, and finding its way (as is fre- 

 quently the case) right across the most southerly of the Sireemeyla 

 (Sirimela) ridges. This valley is occupied by vertical or highly inclined 



purple Murree beds, from which one walks directly

on to the gypsum, the junction being effected by a 



fault in which at a little distance to the eastward a fragment of the 

 limestone remains wedged as if to show that but for this dislocation it 

 would have been continuous.

round, embrace its termination between that village and Chushum Banda. 

 Along the south side of the ridge the nummulitic limestone with many 

 contortions shows itself always on high ground as far as the gorge by 

 which the stream from Sireemeyla (Sirimela) escapes southward ; but here 

 changes sides, lying upon the northern slopes hence to its eastern end. 



Close by the village last named another ridge commences, having 

 Sireemeyla (Sirfmela) the limestone also on its northern side, and the 

 ri(lge ' usual talus or debris covered slope to the south.

* The place is wrongly shown upon the map at the northern base instead of the 

 southern side of the crest of the ridge, the error being one of from a mile to two miles. 

 Prismatic compass bearings to fix it made Sookawur (Sukawur) Hukani summit south 30° 

 west, the summit of the mountain between Drubbokus and Turwabeyra (Turwabere) south

 The locality is referred to by Dr. Fleming (see Report As. Soc. Jl., Beng., 1853, p. 348) as 

 having produced 1,000 Lahori maunds of sulphur annually, but it is not now worked, though 

 the sulphur might be made available for the blasting powder factory at Lachi, only twenty- 

 four miles distant.
