contorted tertiary sandstones, clays, &c, of the Murree group, but in 

 the valley to the north, the green clays {Sheenkoura) of the gypseous 

 series, and the overlying red clay zone, occupy the space between the 

 opposite limestone sides of what was once an anticlinal curve, the 

 gypsum itself not being seen. 



Just at the top of the ridge, and nearly due south of the village of

 flanking portion of the tertiary sandstone series. Caps of the latter 

 rocks occur in more places than one, resting upon the limestone, and at 

 the base of that shown in the sketch, the junction of the sandstone and 

 limestone is effected by a passage bed in which lumpy nodules of the 

 limestone, the size of one's fist and under, are enclosed in a sandstone 

 base. These nodules become more numerous downwards, and within a 

 few inches or a foot, the sandy matrix disappears,

 litic limestone here a single bed of greenish sandstone precisely resembling 

 that of the tertiary sandstone series ; it is 15 feet thick where measured, 

 and intercalated between the limestone beds. 



The valley between this place and the southern of the three ridges is 

 occupied by closely contorted sandstones and clays,
