From this place to the south-eastward the whole range from side 



Complicated repeti- to side is formed of ridges exhibiting complicated 



repetitions of all the groups from the tertiary 



sandstones downwards to the gypsum, below which even the salt itself 



appears as at two places, one near Peer Ghoot (Pir Ghut) Sir to the north, 



the other near the village of Kuroree (Kurori) to the south. 



A general view of this ground may be obtained from the narrow 



limestone crag which forms the summit of Ghozheyreen Sir (so called
