17. Foraminiferous limestone, similar to No. 3, ....ccsecsseseeeeesss & INChES 
This limestone contains many small yellow rounded bodies, mixed with the 
Foraminifere and appearing to have no organisation. They are perhaps excre- 
tions of mollusks. Also large patches of white, dotted, chalky, limestone 
which are, I believe, the remains of decomposed fossils of considerable size. 
18. Argillaceous, pale grey, nearly white limestone. It gets coarse to- 
wards the top of the bed, and the uppermost layer is brecciated, ... 10 ft.

coarser, the shales never being fae and thin-bedded, but rough and thick-

places into a very arenaceous limestone. It contains but little of the debris of 
fossils, but shows some flat impressions like those of large flat Alge. These 
impressions are, however, ill-defined and could not be identified, ... 25 ft.

These three beds, 25,26 and 27, seem to resist the influence of exposure better 
than the rocks above and below them, and they form at their outcrop a well 
defined ribbon ; this, owing to the trifling angle of the dip, appears on the 
hill-side as a cliff which faces the city of Islamabad a little more than half 
way up the hill. These beds are slightly wavy along the strike, as if they 
had been pressed laterally. These undulations occasion trifling discrepancies 
in the dips taken in different parts of the hill, Along the line of our section, 
the cliff formed by the beds 26, 26 and 27 has a strike N..N. W.—S. S. HE. and 
a dip E. N. E. 15°.
