1833.] and on the Fossil Bones collected on the Jamna. 629 
29. Friable white sandstone, from about the centre of the river, 
near the lower part of the pass, forming large reefs and masses, 3 or 4 feet above 
the water-level. 
30. Sandstone, fine grained, from a large mass about the centre of 
the river, in the higher part of the pass, takea from 3 or 4 feet above the level of 
the water. 
Specimens from the great reef at Bamiart. 
31. Hard sandstone, 6 to 10 feet above the level. 
32. Kankar, in very small quantities, found near the above. 
Unless specified otherwise, it should be understood, that by the 
** level of the water,” in the preceding notes, is meant every where 
the lowest annual level of the river. 
Small springs, flowing in free through scanty streams, run from un- 
cer many of the ledges of kankar on the banks of the river. They 
are rarely met with except in these situations, and in the possibility of 
their being still impregnated with the calcareous matter which seems 
to have been the principal agent in the formation of the kankar, some 
of the water has been brought off in bottles,—a rude attempt made 
here to discover the presence of lime was not successful in detecting

3.—List of Fossil bones found in various situations in the prosecution 
of the Jumna works at Karimkhan, 1833. 
The numbers refer to the specimens presented to the Society, and 
to the figures in plate XXV. 
1. A tooth supposed to have belonged to an elephant, 14 or 15 
years old. 
2. The bony or inner part of an elephant’s tusk. 
3. The extreme point of an elephant’s shoulder-blade; the remain- 
ing part of the bone weighed about 14 maunds. 
4. A portion of an elephant’s shin-bone. 
5. Portions of the back-bone of a camel, (?) or one of the vertebrz 
of the lower part of the neck. 
6. Knuckle bone of the knee-joint of ditto. 
7. That part of the shin-bone nearest the fetlock joint of ditto, or 
end of the shank-bone next the knee. 
8. Portion ofa rib of ditto. 
* Both of these waters were found to be nearly pure, their specific gravity 
being sensibly the same as that of distilled water, On applying the proper tests, the 
only salt discovered in the water from Nant was carbonate of lime; that from 
Arroel contained the same, with a very slight admixture of muriate of soda. The 
slight solution of carbonate of lime may have been rather derived from the kankar, 
than have aided in producing it,—Ep.
