The Soolimanite has a thickness of ........... Apopoda Sao bocmodoeaddmaadgeme a5) clr. 
14. The band of Soolimanite gradually passes into a felspathic ash, 
often friable, but often also hard and compact and full of oval nodules of 
dark augite, varying in magnitude from the size of a pea to that of a pin’s head. 
Occasionally the ash passes, along the strike, into a hard compact quartzite. 
The whole bed appears irregular and lenticular, and has been probably formed 
by ejecta falling into shallow pools of Waiter ..........cscccecseee see eve use 15 ft. 
15. A calcareous rock which is not seen on the hill side, but gives 
ont, on the brow of the hill, a good deal of nodular muddy carbonate 
of lime (kunkur). Here and there a brown ferruginous rotten ash (or 
metamorphosed calcareous shale ?) crops through the grass on the top of the 
hill. It effervesces feebly with acid, and is probably the rock which gives 
out the kunkur. This layer, which is probably squeezed out of its place near 
the foot of the hill by the gradual curving of the strike of the harder rocks, 
is, at the top of the mount, at least .............. pasozan90a000 569000000 00000 . 20 ft.

22. Coarse quartzose grit, very hard and rough. It appears to be composed 
up of angular grains of quartz, variously coloured, cemented together by a 
siliceous paste. It may be a siliceous deposit in which crystallization of the 
purer quartz has begun to take place ..........sc.csscssecseeceerereseseeses 15 ft.
