160 WYNNE : TRANS-INDUS SALT REGION, KOHAT DISTRICT. 



The whole of this Goorooza (Guriiza) and Soordag (Surdag) country 



suffers much from want of water, that of the Ba- 

 Want of water.

 the inhabitants prefer carrying it from near Luttummer upon donkeys, to 

 constructing tanks or repairing these when broken. 



The only spring that was heard of in the whole country was a very 

 small escape of by no means good water at the limestone outcrop high 

 above the right bank of the Zawa Algud. 



Just at the southern limits of the salt there was observed a small 

 Upper tertiary beds exposure of the upper tertiary soft gray sandstones 



and valley deposits. -. -. p n. j ± j.i_ j? j

covered over by thick, well stratified, hard, sandy, conglomeratic and earthy 



beds of the detrital accumulation flanking the hills, and having a very 



decided dip to the south with a predominant reddish color. 



At Goorooza (Guriiza) near the chowki or boorj, a small weathered 

 Limestone patch at patch of the limestone rests upon these beds at a 

 za { uruzaj considerable distance from the hills, in the same 



way as some of the craggy patches from this to Luttummer, and although 

 more than half a mile from any projecting exposure of the same rock, 

 this has to be supposed to have reached its present position by means of 

 former landslips when the configuration of the ground may have been 

 very different.

dipping northwards close to the salt, and there are sections showing ap-

 wedged and crushed among the sandstones, fragments perhaps of the 

 corresponding side of an anticlinal curve which once continued in an arch 

 from beneath the central synclinal over the gypsum of the adjacent
