172 Mr. Verchére on the Geology of Kashmir, [No. 3, 
Traversing a ravine we meet the spur which descends towards the 
village of Mandikpal, and the following section is met with : 
1. Amygdaloidal greenstone. 
2, Amyedaloid, 
3. Quartzite. 
4, Rotten Augitic ash. 
Some of the ground is covered with ths debris of the ash, so that its relation 
to the next bed is not seen, 
5. Limestone, argillaceous, pale bluish-grey, weathering fawn-coloured : after- 
wards patchy blue and brownish. Itis thin-bedded and breaks in slabs about 
one to one and a half inch thick, It contains an abundance of Goniatites of 2 or 
3 species. The bed is about.. Boot Lalsecieuscciesalee OU aby 
The dip of these several heen of bones is ane N. E. 25°, 
This is the only locality where I have seen Weean limestone resting 
immediately on volcanic rocks. 
Hrom Mandikpal, our section goes through a succession of limestone 
ridges which, from the appearance of the ribbons described at the 
hillocks over Weean and Kohew (para. 31), are conjectured to 
be Weean limestone, but I had not time to visit them. The general — 
dip of their beds is north-easterly. 
36. The western aspect of the Wastarwan I shall describe from 
S. to N., that is from Avantipoor to Reechpoora. It is a series 
of spurs with a general westwardly direction, and at the end of one 
of these spurs is a little knoll which I shall call for convenience sake 
the ‘ Pampur knoll.” 
The following is the section of these spurs from S. to N. (see 
Map C.). 
1. The whole of the spurs between Avantipoor and Tangur are composed 
entirely of volcanic rocks, viz., amgydaloidal greenstone, coarse basalt and 
ash, and black slate without fossils, The limestone is first seen about three 
quarters of a mile south of Barus, where two spurs approach very near the 
river Jheelum. 
2. As we ascend the most southern of these spurs, we find, resting confor- 
mably on dark amygdaloidal greenstone, a bed of white quartzite about 2 feet 
thick, . sersevee Fee cee cee eceneesccrccrce 2 ft,

edges of it are crushed one against the other at its southern extremity. On 
the northern side of the fault we find :—
