greenish clays are, as usual, obscurely intercalated with it, this gypsum 

 not being traceable with any continuity throughout the tract. 



Towards the fringing- nummulitic zone north and southwards red 

 clays are strongly seen, and in one of the deep gullies opening to the 

 south, under a mass of reddish coloured clay-debris, the dark rock-salt is 

 horizontally exposed for nearly half a mile, chiefly towards the bottom of 

 the ravine on both sides, but rising in the banks and side nallahs high up 

 nearly to the general surface of the hilly ground. Its total thickness is 

 nowhere visible, but must exceed 100, while it maybe more than 200 feet.

 gypsum just overlying the salt, or even higher up near the top of the 

 gypsum itself, and as the place was much overrun with detritus, it would 

 be unsafe to draw conclusions from an unsatisfactory exposure of the kind 

 which might have slipped bodily from above, nor could any results be 

 arrived at from the clay in contact with the salt now occupying a place 

 which might easily have formerly been filled by gypsum or the gypseous 

 series. Gypsum is seen in quantities approaching the spot from both 

 sides, but near the ravines it greatly gives place to debris.
