  the

  the

  abruptly

  along 
  the

  the

  The

  Upper 
  Punjab,

   as 
  far 
  as 
  they 
  have 
  been 
  seen 
  in 
  Kashmere, 
  which

  in

  the

  other 
  rocks

  of

  occurs 
  commonly 
  in 
  this 
  position 
  ; 
  but 
  sometimes 
  the 
  rocks 
  in 
  

   junction 
  are 
  of 
  Cretaceous 
  or 
  Jurassic 
  age, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  Am- 
  

   monites, 
  Belemnites, 
  and 
  Trigonice 
  which 
  they 
  contain, 
  while 
  in 
  the 
  

   Kashmere 
  territory, 
  if 
  any 
  dependence 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  placed 
  on 
  a 
  somewhat 
  

   distant 
  view, 
  the 
  Murree 
  beds 
  are 
  sometimes 
  in 
  junction 
  with 
  meta- 
  

   morphic 
  or 
  semimetamorphic 
  slates, 
  with 
  crystalline 
  rocks 
  and 
  with 
  

   hardened 
  and 
  altered 
  -looking 
  limestones, 
  in 
  which, 
  what 
  appeared 
  

   to 
  be 
  the 
  distorted 
  forms 
  of 
  small 
  Rotalince 
  drawn 
  by 
  cleavage 
  were 
  

   recognized, 
  giving 
  ground 
  for 
  the 
  conjecture 
  that 
  near 
  Oori, 
  where 
  

   the 
  observation 
  was 
  made, 
  some 
  representative 
  of 
  the 
  Hill 
  Nummu- 
  

   litic 
  beds 
  was 
  present 
  *.

  The 
  local 
  relations 
  of 
  the 
  contact 
  f 
  are 
  tolerably 
  uniform 
  in 
  

   their 
  discordance, 
  the 
  hill-rocks 
  being 
  crushed 
  into 
  most 
  compli- 
  

   cated 
  folds, 
  while 
  the 
  Murree 
  beds 
  are 
  either 
  less 
  contorted 
  or 
  

   vertical 
  or 
  inclined, 
  frequently 
  underlying 
  towards, 
  seldom 
  away 
  from 
  

   the 
  hills, 
  and 
  then 
  only 
  at 
  high 
  angles. 
  How 
  closely 
  similar 
  these 
  

   features 
  of 
  the 
  contact 
  may 
  be 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Simla 
  area 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  

   easy 
  to 
  assert 
  without 
  having 
  inspected 
  both; 
  but 
  from 
  the 
  descrip- 
  

   tions 
  given 
  they 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  general 
  resemblance 
  ; 
  Mr. 
  Medli- 
  

   cott's 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  circumstances 
  led 
  to 
  the 
  belief 
  that 
  the 
  junction 
  

   with 
  the 
  hill-rocks 
  marks 
  a 
  limit 
  of 
  deposition 
  of 
  the 
  Tertiary 
  beds 
  

   from 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Subathu 
  upwards, 
  these 
  having 
  been 
  deposited 
  

   on 
  a 
  denuded 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  hill-rocks, 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  subsequently 
  

   reduced 
  by 
  disturbance 
  (of 
  both 
  simultaneously) 
  to 
  their 
  present 
  

   complex 
  condition. 
  In 
  the 
  Upper 
  Punjab 
  country, 
  evidence 
  of 
  any 
  

   denudation 
  of 
  the 
  Hill-limestones 
  preceding 
  the 
  deposition 
  of 
  the 
  

   Murree 
  beds 
  (considered 
  as 
  equivalents 
  of 
  the 
  Simla-area 
  Subathu 
  

  

  * 
  Here, 
  as 
  usual, 
  inversion 
  appeared 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  rule, 
  these 
  limestone 
  rocks 
  

   overlying 
  bright 
  red 
  and 
  green 
  clays 
  and 
  purple 
  sandstones, 
  clays, 
  &c. 
  of 
  the 
  

   Murree 
  type. 
  

  

  t 
  It 
  should 
  be 
  stated 
  that 
  actual 
  contact 
  is 
  seldom 
  seen 
  along 
  this 
  line 
  of 
  

   junction, 
  though 
  the 
  rocks 
  in 
  situ 
  on 
  different 
  sides 
  frequently 
  approach 
  each 
  

   other 
  very 
  closely.
