sloping slightly to the northwards, and faulted against vertical 



nummulitic limestones, between which and adjacent gypsum traces of 



a red clay band were seen. This gypsum is again

faulted against the south side of the outlier. 



(Fig. 19). Associated obscurely with the gypsum are the usual gray 



and greenish shales and thick clays, with flaggy beds crowded with 



nummulites, towards the northern limestone, which, together with the 



clays, has a high inverted dip to the southward, and in a deep ravine 



crossing this limestone at a waterfall south of Maylookilla (Melukilla) 



red clays are again seen between the nummulitic limestone and 



nummulitic clays. Here, too, the limestone is

faulted, so as to resemble a deep synclinal curve as 



shown in the sketch. Fig. 2 0. Sketch at water-fall south of Maylook- 

 illa (Melukilla). 



a. Greenish clays and calcareous bands, b. Crushed red clay. c. Nummulitic, shaly limestones. 

 d. Solid nummulitic limestone (4). e. Tertiary sandstones (5) much concealed by debris. /. Strong 

 nummulitic limestones (4). g. Tertiary sandstones (5). k. Eed clay. 



Unless the limestone f be an entirely accidental and different band 

 from that at d (which could not be proved), there must be here a faulted 

 displacement in a vertical direction of very much greater amount than 

 the distance between the two limestone ribs, which would admit of about 

 300 feet of the tertiary sandstones, &c, intervening. These latter are 

 inverted, and the clue which they might give to the arrangement of the 

 whole is lost in consequence of their being much concealed by debris. 

 The occurrence of the red clay at b may indicate another parallel fault, 

 and a pocket of very similar red clays at the foot of the waterfall at 

 k, close to the nummulitic limestone, is too obscurely seen to admit of 

 its being referred decisively to either the tertiary sandstone series or the 

 supra-gypseous red zone.
