3. The Nummulitic ellipsoid from Manzulli to Bdndd on the Kohdt and 



Bdnnu road, Sfc. 



On ascending the Manzulli or Threekanushpa (Thrikanushpa) ridge 

 near Rago-tungi Sir, the Dullun valley, or plain, at 



Rocks as seen from 



Rago-tungi Sir northerly the head of one of the branches of the Teeree Towey 

 (Tiri Tarn) river is seen stretching away on the north 

 side of the ridge to the Koorum (Kiiram) river. In this valley there is not 

 much rock seen, but what there is within view forms a continuation of the 

 tertiary sandstones and clays of the Teeree (Tiri) valley. Rising from 

 the latter between the two southerly head-waters of the Teeree Towey 

 (Tiri Taui) is the long anticlinal ridge of nummulitic limestone, round 

 the nearest or Dumbaro end of which the sandstones are seen to bend 

 northward from the village of Aman Kot. This ridge, as far as it can 

 be seen, appears formed of the same limestone, with the sandstones on its 

 flank, forming the northern side of the Dullun plain. 



Southward from the Threekanushpa (Thrikanushpa) (on the map 

 Turkainushbo) ridge extends part of the country of 



Southerly view. , „ 



the Waziris, formed of a central somewhat elevated 

 mass of soft undulating sandstones, supporting the crags of Kaffir Kot, 

 a rocky depression intervening between this mass of sandstones and the 

 point of view occupied by the lower beds of the tertiary sandstone 

 series. 



Between the Wuziri (Waziri) country and the Dullun valley the 

 Triple structure of Manzulli range has a triple structure, each of the 

 three parallel ridges having a limestone crest. Of 

 these the most northerly is the inverted north side of the Manzulli and 

 Banda ellipse ; the middle one corresponds to the southern side of the 

 same, and the other is a narrow separate anticlinal divided from the rest 

 by the overlying sandstones and clays. This anticlinal seems to have 

 been broken through or eroded so as to expose some of the underlying 

 gypseous clays. The place is, however, inaccessible, being within the
