I1.—Second report on the Geology of Hyderabad. By H. W. Voysey, 
Esq. Surgeon and Geologist to the Trigonometrical Survey of India, 
dated Secanderabad, the 28th June, 1820. 
I had the honor of submitting a geological description of part of the 
dominions of His Highness the Nizam to the Marauzss of Hasrines in 
June last, since which I have visited a considerable additional portion 
of the same country, including part of the Honorable Company’s terri- 
tory. I now beg leave to offer a more complete geological sketch of 
the country through which I have passed, embracing in a great measure 
the substance of the former report, but more systematically arranged. 
The space included between the extreme points of my different jour- 
neys is about 3° of latitude and 5° of longitude, viz. from 16° to 19° 
N. lat. and from 77° to 82° E. long.: within it are four rivers, the 
Goddveri, Kistna, Maujira and Moussa, two of which may be ranked 
among the principal rivers of India, viz. the Godavert and the Kistnah. 
The two first-named rivers take their rise in the Western Ghauts, and 
some of their tributary streams at their origin are only separated a few 
miles from each other. Their general course, is nearly south-east. The 
Manjira differs the most from that course, being forced to double on 
itself when it approaches the high land, commencing about thirty miles 
north-west of Hyderabad. The course of the rivers accords with that 
of the ranges of mountains, and the valleys through which they run. 
Mountains. 
The granitic part of this country may be called both mountainous and 
lilly; and in the plains and valleys are found elevations which are mini-
