A. Dark grey felstone, slaty, stratified and with a cleavage and 
joints. Fusiform, elongated, minute granules of augite. Many

E. Pale grey felspathic paste with almond-shaped masses of

ash interstratified, ......... Mogae s ntesia anced aaiace i sisaebeimenereriee 400 ,, 
F. A succession of beds similar to D. and E. interstratified with bands of 
amygdaloid and of felspathose ash containing oval nodules of augite. 
This rock appears to form the whole of the Shumalarum, and was seen, 
- as far as I could see, towards the west.

H. River Jheelum or Vedusta. 
I. Baramoola. 
J. The dotted line is the Atala.

5. The rocks, which I have endeavoured to describe, are continued 
along both banks of the Jheelum as for as the fort of Ori, about twenty - 
five miles south of Baramoola. Following them on the left bank, 
(Murree Road) we first’ cross the Atala, and can observe, near 
the village of Mihrur, very fine narrow slabs of felstone, twelve feet 
long, used as rafters to support a roof over a holy well or spring. 
Proceeding S. W. we cross a small marshy valley, and near the 
village of Ghaut Mullah we meet a succession of spurs directed 
towards the N. W., and which are the extreme north-western 
extension of the Pir Punjal Chain. These spurs are also made up 
completely of felspathic flagstone, identical to that which I have 
described above, but the dip and strike of the beds are different 
from that of the beds near Baramoola: the dip is W. with a
