bifurcates into two digitations, the most westerly being entirely made 
up of agglomerate, whilst the most easterly presents the following

Section of the end of the Zeeawan spur above the village of Zee- 
awan. (See Sections B. and C.) 
1. Volcanic agglomerate with a shining, dark, semi-vitreous cement. It is 
interstratified with bands of amygdaloid and thin layers of peperino. 
2. Quartzite, white, opaque, stratified; it breaks into cuboid fragments, 
owing to numerous well-marked joints. It is sometimes yellowish, but 
usually quite white. It is a conspicuous layer and deserves to be remembered, 
as it always occurs between the volcanic rocks and the beds of limestone to be

* Having now reached the fossiliferous strata, I shall not, in charity to the 
reader, give the section of the spurs of the Tukt-i-Suliman and Zebanwan 
which face the little lake or Dal. But the map (see Map B) will enable 
any one wishing to know the geology of these spurs, to satisfy his curiosity. 
Ihave indeed to apologize for the minuteness of the section of the Tukt-i. 
Suliman, &c. But in a country new to the geologist, a section, I think, cannot 
be too minutely detailed,
