At Mouflong the rock is white flinty slate, the joints or strata being 

 nearly in the direction of the meridian and inclined to the horizon 

 at an angle of about 60° ; this rock continues all the way down to the 

 bed of Bogapanee river, which is covered with rolled masses of granite, 

 gneiss, porphyry, and sandstone : wherever the rock bassets, it is red 

 slate (E 2,) at the same angle and in the same direction as the white 

 at Mouflong ; immediately upon this lies a stratum of the conglomerate 

 (E 3), containing pebbles of quartz and jasper with a talcose cement, 

 of which large masses have fallen into the bed of the stream ; it may 

 be traced to the bed of the next nullah, where it also appears in sight ; 

 the stratum above this is a dark sandstone, E 4, upon which is a 

 stratum of basalt, or porphyry, F 5, the outside of which becomes red 

 by decomposition. Above this are new sandstones of various hardness 

 and colours (mostly white), alternating with conglomerate (E 6), which 

 continue as far as the valley of the Kalapanee, in descending into which 

 the same strata are visible in the perpendicular face of the rock, and in the 

 large masses which have fallen over ; E 7 (conglomerate) is picked out 

 of a stream : about 80 feet above the stream, the same porphyry or green- 

 stone basalt again appears, E 8, with veins of fine quartz E. 9. This 

 rock forms the bed of the river, and continues till we begin to ascend on 

 the opposite side of the valley (I saw one mass evidently columnar, the 

 faces with angles of 120°). In the ascent we return to the sandstone, 

 and conglomerate, in which I found a bed of lithomarge, E 10, and a 

 bed of quartz conglomerate, containing crystals of amythystine quartz. 



After reaching the summit on the road to the left leading to Mo- 

 leem (at about 100 yards distance) is a bed of bituminous slate, E 

 1 2 ; from hence to Chira we meet only varieties of sandstone, with 

 beds of stalactitic iron ore, (No. 13), and of coal adjoining pipe-clay 

 E 14, 15, which are found about a mile and a half south of Sura- 

 reem.

 Ascent to Jyrong. Specimens marked A. 



1. Finegrained granite, glassy and angular. 



2. Conglomerate of iron ore with pebbles in beds in the above. 



3. Granite resembling 1. 



4. Do. apparently quartz in fine grains stratified with decomposing felspar, 

 being No. 1, in a state of decomposition ; but the rock No. 1, is regularly crys- 

 talline, its angles and joints perfectly defined. 



5. 6. Fine grained red granite, (with minute crystals of hornblende ?) 



7. Decomposing felspar with quartz in irregular fragments. 



8. Fine grained red granite. 



9. Gneiss (granite stratified with plates of mica). 



9§. Conglomerate ; iron ore and pebble found in a watercourse. 



10. Decomposed gneiss, — purple.
