Karewah Hills, I never was able to find the sKglitest trace of a land 

 or freshwater shell in any of the many sections I have examined.

Snoivy Range ; North Pingal. Kaj Nag, 14,40 7 feet. — ^Fromsome 

 canse or other (local attraction) the compass would not act at this end 

 of the ridge. On leaving the " station," however, and getting on the 

 granite beyond, it was all right again.

The ravines that run from this range to the south-west open out 

 into the Jhelum Hiver at Gingle, Oorie, and Kuttai ; and the dis- 

 covery that the crest or axes of this part of the North Pingal 

 Range was of granite, accounted at once for the presence of enor- 

 mous boulders of that rock which are to be seen at those three 

 places, without the supposition that they had been " floated " by ice 

 or '' forced " by glaciers from the mountain of Hara-mook far to 

 the East (see above, p. 221). Hara-mook is not granitic ; nor does 

 granite occur in situ for a considerable distance to the north-east. 



The ravines from the North Pingal to the south-west are strewed 

 with granite-boulders along their whole courses. The gorge of Ba- 

 ramula, along which the Jhelum escapes from the Kashmere valley, is, 

 I see, considered to be due to some convulsion which broke through
