1840.] March from Brimhan Ghat to Umurkuntuk.

with laterite ; a good view is afforded at the eastern point of the bluff rock 

 at Umurkuntuk overlooking the country towards Ruttunpoor, and again at 

 the fall of Kupildhar, where the Nerbudda cuts through the laterite, ex- 

 posing the compact basalt. 



Fossil shells were found under Patungurh, east of the Mohtura ghat, 

 and just above the Purey ghat. 



In addition to the traces of coal noted in the route as found in the bed of 

 the Johilla river near Palee, and in a small nulla near Khulesar Omareea 

 of Rewah, Mr. Fraser had intelligence from natives of coal being found 

 across the Soan in two small nuUas called the Hewye and Buroona nuUas, 

 near the village of Sonhegaon in Sohagpoor district, specimens of which 

 accompany the present series. 



In conclusion, I beg to forward the route from Umurkuntuk to Jubulpore, 

 as received from Lieutenants Waugh and Rennie, who in 1833 came across 

 the country from Chunar to this.

Note. — The inscription copied by Dr. Spilsbury is not of consequence, 

 being, it would appear, a mere record of the name of the decorator of the 

 place, a private person. I have not published a translation of it, as my 

 Pundit was by no means confident of his rendering, the original not being 

 correct. ill
