HILLY RANGES AND THEIR NEIGHBOURHOOD FROM BAHADUR KHKL, &C. 181 



To the north of Shukkurdurra (Shakkardarra) near the base of the 

 Continuation of Baruk central ridge which there becomes the southern 

 fault * side of the range, the continuation of the Baruk 



fault produces for some distance a very confused state of the rocks along 

 a narrow zone. Here fragments of the series, chiefly of the limestone 

 and gypsum, are wedged in a most complicated manner into tertiary 

 sandstone series without relation or order, but when of any considerable 

 size from their difference of texture showing themselves distinctly among 

 the adjoining beds. 



On the ridge above the gypsum is extensively seen bent into large 



Current mark on gyp- curves recognizable by flaggy layers, which near 



suna ' the top alternate with the red clays and have 



rough, ripple, or current marked surfaces. Above the red zone comes the 



limestone, often vertical, but sometimes showing well marked portions of 



the northern side of an anticlinal arch, or complicated slippage bringing 



it (out of place) over some of the adjacent beds. It here again contains 



the peculiar Gryp/itea-like shell before mentioned,

and several other nummulitic forms, none of which 



have been as yet examined for determination!

much disturbed, sending faulted bands among the 



hills to the east and one compressed synclinal curve to the north-east. 

 In the latter, down which drainage of the valley largely escapes, 

 there are at no great height in the group apparently some greenish- 

 gray soft sandstone layers containing the usual 

 assemblage of fossil bones and exogenous wood.
