Limestone over sand- pushed horizontally over the soft sandstones which 



dip to the north at low angles, and in several places 



a mass of these tertiary sandstones was seen in close contact with the 



outcrop of the gypsum and salt, but capped by small patches of either 



limestone, gypsum, or the greenish gypseous clays. 



From these facts and the general appearance of the junction else-

 dered by a continuous line of fault along # the southern side of 

 the hills, the down throw of which to the south differs in different 

 places, but the general effect to the westward has been to place 

 very high beds of the tertiary sandstones in junction with the salt and 

 gypsum. This great dislocation extends for over forty miles, and in a 

 district where so many disturbances of the kind exist, it has for sake 

 of distinction been called the ' Baruk fault/
