160 Mr. Verchére on the Geology of Kashnwr, [No. 3, 
Having crossed a ravine, we arrive at the spurs over Zowoor, where 
we find the following beds along one section, from W. 8. W. to 
EH. N.E. We begin with No. 4 of the Section: the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 
refer to the volcanic rocks and black limestone just described. 
1. ......... Amygdaloidal greenstone, dips H. 8. EH. 
12 addoanued Ash interbedded with thin beds of highly erystalline azoic limestone, 
Sb oodco000c Ash interbedded with black crystalline limestone in thin patches. 
4. Amygdaloid; dip EH. S. H. 20°. 
5. Quartzite, white and stratified. It becomes gradually sandy and coloured

6. Crystalline limestone with the debris of fossils, undeterminable, 5 ft. 
7. Lenticular beds of coarse granular limestone, full of Athyris sp.? (see 
Pi. II. fig. 1 and la) and Productus Flemingt,............0.ccec sess neces 1 foot. 
8. Limestone; grey, weathering brown, presenting abundant sections of

9. Coarse limestone; Fenestellides, Producti, &c. passes into. 
10. Calcareo-ferruginous, brown shales with some fossils: 9 and 10,

These beds 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are therefore the same beds as there seen at 
Zeeawan, or they are in other words, Zeeawan limestone. They all dip H.S.H. 20°. 
11. Limestone, thin bedded and shaly: no fossils, ...............4. 5 ft. 
-A fault occurs here, and the following beds are seen on the eastern side 
of it. 
_ 12. Limestone of the Zeeawan bed brought up again. It presents the 
same succession as above, viz. an Orthoceras bed, a Fenestellide bed, and a 
brown shale bed; the Fenestellide beds are, however, less abundant, and 
the lenticular Athyris ones were NOt SCeD, ............ 2.0 ..ee0e connec eee ee 4O ft. 
27. Resting on this limestone, we find other beds of limestone 
having a very different aspect. In fact we have the beginning of the 
Weean bed of carboniferous limestone. The fauna changes consider- 
ably : no Producti are found, no Fenestellides, no great flat Orthide, 
but instead a very great number of small bivalves, much broken and 
comminuted, and here and there in lenticular beds, where fossils of 
one or two species have been heaped together, some small Brachio- 
poda of the genera Spiriferina and Terebratula ; some large mussel- 
Shaped bivalves which are probably Anthracosie or some other near 
sub-genus of Cardinia ; some large and sometimes extremely gibbose 
Aviculo-pectens ; some Pectens four inches across; Goniatites and 
an innumerable variety of Hncrinite stems of all sizes. The appear- 
ance of the rock will be noticed as we get on with our section.
