of the rocks is the same as that of the southern 



part of the above section, except that the southern band of limestone is 



less regular, or ascends somewhat higher on the hills and caps one of 



them as at A in the foregoing figure. 



Just before the ridge adjoins the Jatta hills, its crest alone is 

 occupied by the limestone, which is slightly faulted in an east and west 

 direction, the tertiary sandstone to the south rising high upon the ridge, 

 and the lower purple and bone beds with shark's teeth, &c v of the same 

 series entering as a synclinal curve the valley between this ridge and the 

 western end of the Jatta ellipsoid. 



The open ground northward of this ridge is less rocky than that to 

 Low ground on each tae soutb ^ where the banks of the Teeree Towey 

 (Tiri Taui) and the ground above them both ex- 

 pose the gray and red vertical or inclined, alternating red clays and gray 

 sandstones of the lower tertiary sandstone series.
