350 A. B. WYNNE ON THE PHYSICAL 



Medlicott and Lyddeker for the Jamii Hills and the Pir-Panjal 

 range, lying between the British portion of the Upper Punjab and 

 the valley of Kashmir, also the upper portion of the geological 

 series as represented in the frontier country * visited by Mr. Ball 

 (see Table, p. 349). 



All the geological systems or formations named in the first 

 columns of these Tables being represented in the region under 

 notice (except that the Cambrian formation has not been here iden- 

 tified as such), it will be sufficient for me to give, in the form of 

 a somewhat more detailed list than formerly appeared, the main 

 character of the various groups and formations, recalling the 

 observation that a wide petrological dissimilarity marks the whole 

 series of the adjacent outer Himalaya, as compared with the same 

 series, so far as this is represented, in the extra-Himalayan region 

 of the Salt Eange t. 



None of the palgeontological relations of these formations have 

 been as yet worked out or published in full, a difficulty reduced, 

 however, so far as relates to the identification of the older rock 

 groups, by Dr. "Waagen's inspection of the fossil-bearing beds in 

 the field, and one, which his present occupation upon the pre- 

 Tertiary fossils of the Salt Eange will do much to remove. 



A small sketch map (PI. XIV.). annexed (the outline for which is 

 taken from Montgomery's ' Kashmir Route Map ') will convey the 

 dispositions of the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cainozoic rocks, and 

 also show several of their subdivisions ±,

J In this map the now customary Indian official spelling of names is given. 

 la the text, where the official form might mislead, the spelling according to the 

 English sounds is given also, or added at foot of the page. 



§ It is as well to correct in this place a few points in my former paper. 

 Since it was written the Siwalik beds called Miocene at p. 62 have been thought 

 more probably Pliocene, a correction which should be carried out in the Table 

 there annexed. The Tagling limestone, in the last column of this Table, should 

 have been represented as Liassic rather than Triassic, according to Dr. Stoliczka 

 (Mem. Geol. Surv. Ind. vol. v. pt. 1). The group No. 5 in the present list has 

 been omitted in the former list of Salt-range groups. At pages 64 and 65 the 

 name " Siddur" should be read " Liddur " in the footnotes. At p. 68, line 14 from 

 bottom, for " Nahun " read " Dagshai." The conjecture at the end of Section 14, 

 p. 70, with reference to the occurrence of Nummulitic limestone bands at Oori 

 in Kashmir was not supported by a subsequent examination ; and the sectional 

 representation of the rocks at Dundelee, copied on p. 74, has since been cor- 

 rected by Mr. Medlicott. The limestone c l is not thought to be presumably 

 Krol; the carbonaceous beds c 2 are Nummulitic, and therefore do not underlie 

 c x as represented (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind. vol. ix. p. 53). This correction also 

 applies to the end of Section 6, p. 64, and to the second paragraph of Section 

 14, p. 70.
