176 Mr. Verchére on the Geology of Kashmir, [No. 3, 
has a general dip to the N. E., whilst on the western aspect of the 
hill its dip is generally westerly. There is therefore a sort of 
anticlinal towards the centre of the hill, following a direction from 
the N. W. to the 8S. EH. We have seen how this anticlinal affects the 
limestone at Reechpoora, a locality which happens to be at the end 
of it. 
42. The next mountain we meet, travelling towards the 8. E. 
along the banks of the Jheelum, is the Kamlawan (8601) which. 
terminates over the village of Murhamma. The mountain is com- 
posed, like the Zebanwan and the Wastarwan, of volcanic rocks. 
Melted rocks predominate in the centre of the system, whilst 
ash and laterite compose, in a great part, the most extended spurs. 
Slate is intermixed with the beds of volcanic cinders, and over 
these carboniferous limestone rests conformably. But the limestone 
of the Kamlawan appears to have been extensively denuded, and is 
only found in a small bed which makes but little show. The follow- 
ing is a section of the spur immediately over Murhamma. Direction 
of the spur N.—S. Strike H. S. H—W. N. W.; dip 8S. S. W. 
(See Pl. 11. Section D.) 
1. Trachy-dolerite, coarse and dark, here and there amygdaloidal; it has 
large joints regularly disposed, at right angles to the stratification and yawn- 
ing, giving it a somewhat columnar aspect. This bed appears to extend from 
the top of the hill, to the beginning of the spur now under consideration. It 
is of very great thickness, and, making allowance for faults, it cannot be less 
than 2000 feet. 
2. Baked clay-stone or compact laterite, grey, smooth, much jointed ; it 
dips 8. S. W. 70°. It has a thickness of about ...............ss000+.000e. 200 ft. 
3. Limestone, crystalline, coarse and metamorphosed, It contains a few frag- 
ments of fossils, not recognizable and mostly transformed into spar, 3 ft,
