Meteorological Register at Bareilly, in 1831.

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 is a 

 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 : 



1. Surface soil, black, 3 feet. 



2. Soft basalt, '2\ do. 



3. Hard basalt, 7 do. 



4. Soft basalt, 1 \ do. 



5. Wacke witb nodules of limestone, 3 do. 



6. Travertine with imbedded shells, \\ do. 



7. Coarse silicious grit, 2 do. 



8. Hard basalt.
