1833.] Meteorological Register at Bareilly, in 1831. 641 
When first dug out it is friable and has a very gritty feel, falling 
abroad on being thrown into water like lime when it is slaking. In 
the sample I have sent I find several minute nodules of carbonate of 
lime, which will of course alter the results as given above. No.7 isa 
coarse silicious grit, and No. 8 is basalt again. Beyond which I did not 
consider it necessary to extend my search. 
I do not venture to offer any hypothesis on the discovery of the 
above interesting facts, but content myself by bringing to the notice of 
the members of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta the singular circum- 
stance of shells in a high state of preservation lodged in a calcareous 
bed, being found in the midst of volcanic matter. I hope some day to 
be able to ascertain the limits of the fossil beds. 
The following is a section of the shaft : 
. Surface soil, black, 3 feet. 
. Soft basalt, 24 do. 
. Hard basalt, 7 do. 
Soft basalt, 14 do. 
. Wacke with nodules of limestone, 3 do. 
. Travertine with imbedded shells, 14 do. 
. Coarse silicious grit, 2 do. 
Hard basalt.
