The salt of this locality will be found referred to in the appendix ; 



it is of the usual dark gray colour, and like that

of other eastern localities, the upper part is m 

 places somewhat bituminous near where it is in contact with the over- 

 lying black bituminous gypseous rock ; from the situation of the quar- 

 ries its thickness may be over 200 feet. 



There is a rather large accumulation of boulders and debris along 



the foot of the hill west of Saya, now at a higher

may nevertheless have been brought together by the transporting 



agency of this Teeree Towey (Tiri Taui) stream in former times. It 



appears to be quite local. 



A little further down the stream is the village of Zertungi on its 

 right bank, at which gold was said to be washed

 practice having given the name to the place (zer), meaning gold in 

 Pushtu or the language of this country, and (tunga), a kuss, khud, or 

 ravine. 



The fault in the river here would seem to be considerable, and the 

 Fault in Teeree (Tiri) tertiary sandstones on its southern bank appear 

 to form undulations in the bottom of what had 

 once been a narrow synclinal trough. 



The contorted state of the beds extends for miles down the course of 



Contortions in its the Towe 7 ( Taui ); but before this reaches the 

 valley * Indus, steady sections are seen on each side rising 



upwards in the newer rocks of the series.
