164 Mr. Verchére on the Geology of Kashmir, [No. 3, 
b. Brown foetid limestone, full of a transverse species of a plaited Spi7i- 
ferina and a globular Terebratula. It is probably a lenticular bed, and takes 
the place of the Spirifer bed noted above, .......ccccsseeseeseseeersesesees 8 Eb,

The end of this spur is cut by a transverse fault in the same manner 
as we have seen in the preceding spurs. The cut off beds are much 
disturbed, being vertical at the tops of the ridge, and dipping N. H. at 
high angles along the slope. 
Beyond this is I have not examined this fine section of the lime- 
stone of Kashmir. I was never allowed to visit it again, as I was 
suddenly ordered away from Srinuggur, my professional services being 
required elsewhere. Had I had time, I intended to follow the section 
across the range into Nawan and down to the bottom of the Harrah 
Valley. 
30. From the brow of the last spur which I have visited, a fine 
view is obtained of the next spur, which is remarkable for a great 
twist of the strata which composé it. The limestone is extremely 
white and resembles chalk-cliffs at a distance. We shall, however, 
see this white limestone at Manus Bal, and find that it is probably 
a portion of the Weean bed altered by heat. We shall find it similarly 
altered at Islamabad. 
The whole mass of hills of Nawan appears to be limestone. The 
summits of Boorwaz and Batgool appear behind the range, present- 
ing high rugged peaks of porphyry. To our right, the limestone 
forms a small chain which advances for some miles into the Pampur 
valley, and behind this chain a long line of mountains, also entirely 
composed of limestone, runs N.—S. to join the Wastarwan. (See 
maps B. and C.) 
31. The little chain which descends into the Pampur valley 
terminates over the village of Weean. At its extremity, the Weean 
limestone, or middle bed of carboniferous limestone of Kashmir, is 
well developed, and we will now proceed to examine this locality. 
It is, tome, the classical ground of the Weean limestone, as the 
Zeeawan spur is that of the Zeeawan Bed.
