128 Mr. Verchére on the Geology of Kashmir, [No. 2, 
French grey. There is much in these strata to remind one of the starry 
trachyte or Soolimanite of the Tukt-i-Suliman, but the starry arrangement 
of elongated crystals of albite is never perfectly seen. 
A layer of amygdaloid covers in the trachyte. 
From Pandrettan to Panchhooka, we have been examining the beds 
of the southern spur of the Zebanwan. The W. N. W. spur may be 
considered to end or rather to begin over Pandrettan, and from thence 
eastwards we cross the digitations of the southern spur. A glance at 
the horizontal section (Map B) will render any further explanation 
unnecessary. 
Here ends our section through Hurri Parbut, the Tukt-i-Suliman 
and the W. N. W. portion of the Zebanwan. 
21. We will now examine the south-south-eastern flank of the 
Zebanwan, following a section from near Panchhooka towards 
the H. N. EH. (See Map B.) (Section ILI. of General Map or 
Map A.) 
~ We meet first a long slender spur proceeding from the main range 
of the Zebanwan to the §. 8. H., and as this spur is very interesting, 
T have called it the Zeeawan spur from the name of a village situated 
close to its extremity. (Sect. A, B and C.). 
The Zeeawan spur is composed, high up the hill, of the same 
basalt, amygdaloid and greenstone which we have seen in the preced- 
ing spur, but towards its end it is made up of enormously thick beds 
of volcanic agglomerate. This agglomerate is composed of a cement 
having the shining appearance of a slag, but not in its vesicular arrange- 
ment. It contains lapilli of nearly all the rocks which we have seen 
before, viz. greenstone, basalt, amygdaloid, slate of various sorts, and 
pieces of both felspathic and augitic ash. These lapilli are quite 
angular and crammed together so close that in some places the cement 
can hardly be seen. This cement appears to have at first coated the 
fragments with a thin layer of a dark shining paste, and then glued 
them togethér with a coarser material; or it is very possible that this 
coating is a superficial melting of the lapilli, and that the cement is 
a lava. However this may be, this agglomerate forms the greater 
portion of the spur. A confused stratification is discernible, dipping 
to the H. 8. H. at a higher angle, and cut at right angles by well 
marked joints; thus huge blocks are separated from the mags and
