390 Geological Section of the [Aug. 



in crossing a small nala (chiefly derived from these springs), the bed 

 •was formed by the specimens K 1 , 2, and 3 ; No. 1 formed a small fall 

 (see fig. 2,) and No. 2, intersected the strata running in a E. N. E. 

 direction. No. 3 being the general bed of the river, and giving it a 

 greyish appearance. 



There are two springs, distant some five or six paces from each other, 

 the southern one has been squared by stones being placed tank fashion, 

 forming an area of about five feet each way : the other is left pretty much 

 to nature ; depth about a foot and half. Much gas is extricated, of an of- 

 fensive sulphureous odour, temperature 114°; thatof the air 86°, time noon, 

 (28th February, 1833.) At 12 paces distant, is a cold spring; the tem- 

 perature of which I found to be 82°. Of the specimens accompanying, 

 K 4 is the rock from which the springs issue ; a pace or two above, K 5 

 juts out ; K 7, is a rocky ledge justbelow the junction of the hot and cold 

 springs ; K 6, is a small detached hill, large masses of which are lying 

 at the junction of the springs, on which are carved the yoni. In a water- 

 course between the hill K 6, and the springs, lie large rolled pebbles of 

 different colors, jasper, agate, and boulders of all sizes, precisely similar 

 to those at Futtehpoor (F. 1 .) 



Futtehpoor (at which reside three Goand Rajas) is situated first 

 within the gorge of the low range of hills that form the southern bound- 

 ary of the valley of the Nerbudda. On passing through the town, which 

 is built on both sides of the Unjon nala, the road winds thi'ough the low* 

 hills, varying from 150 to 200 feet in height, composed of F 2, capped 

 with F 3. F 2 descends all the way, and is seen forming the bed of 

 the nala ; at one place where they crossed it, the rock puts on the ap- 

 pearance of a platform, covered with rough mortar, in which numerous 

 small siliceous pebbles were mixed. In the nala and all about, are boul- 

 ders of F 1, as atKyriehot spring. About six miles round the western end 

 of Chuttair, the road up to this being undulated low jungle, the 

 country becomes more open, and the soil changes from siliceous to 

 decomposed trap, small hillocks and ridges of which are seen jutting up 

 in this valley. The intermediate spaces, being the black alluvial soil 

 similar to that of the Nerbudda, had crops of gram and wheat on them. 

 About four miles from Maljihir S. S. E. near a small low range of hills 

 (specimen M H) is the other hot-spring. The gas extricated is more 

 offensive than the Kyrie one ; temp. 134' air 92°; time 2 P. M. (3rd 

 March, 1834,) cold spring about 20 paces off, 78°. This spring bubbles 



* It is to be noted that although the hills are generally low, yet some high 

 peaks, as Chuttair and Douria, (probably rising to 800 or 1000 feet above the 

 plain,) are met with.
