HILLY RANGES AND THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD FROM BAHADUR KHEL, &C. 155 



Gypsum occurs in two bands, one close to the salt, the other parallel to, 

 but separated from, the former, by the red clay band just mentioned. 



In the face of the cliff above, two portions of curves in the strata 

 appeared to be marked by the alternations of color

of the gray sandstones and red clays as shown in 



the section. The lower red portion seemed to repeat much of the 

 appearance of the band at the { Yagceshu cumber ', but it would be impossi- 

 ble to say that some of the clays of the red clay zone were not also 

 present. 



On reaching the small cap of limestone at the upper edge of the 



cliff it was found to be composed of a few beds

of alveolina limestone, weathered and shaken, and 



having no relation to the sandstones on which it rests, the limestone 



being nearly horizontally disposed, but the sandstones beneath dipping 



northwards at a considerable angle ; the remains of a similar patch were 



seen at a little distance to the east 25° north. Here also, as if passing 



below the alveolina beds, were a few layers of nearly horizontal, dark, 



earthy limestone containing rolled nummulites and lumps of alveolina 



limestone such as might have formed the uppermost part of the limestone 



series. 



Almost from the same spot the northern side of the Luttummer 

 Luttummer anticlinal nummulitic anticlinal commences, inclined at a 

 high angle to the north, so that it would appear 

 as if this small outlier had once formed a vertical continuation of that 

 limestone band, and when deprived of support had fallen over to the 

 north. Either this or some complicated combination of slipping and 

 faulting must be supposed to account for such an extraordinary 

 occurrence. 



The Luttummer anticlinal is a feature of exactly the same type at 

 Rocks of this anticli- that of Suppurri to the north (already described as 

 the commencement of this division), but is com- 

 pletely overthrown, both sides of the compressed curve dipping to the
