36 HOLLAND AND TIPPER : INDIAN GEOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY. 



Chitltalpudi sandstones - -Name introduced by W. King {Rec, Geol. 

 Surv., Ind., X, 56, 1877) for a lower sub-division of the 

 Kamtlii beds in the Godavari district, less coarse in character 

 than the overlying Dummapett sandstones, corresponding 

 possibly to the Tarcherla sandstones of Hyderabad and the 

 Central Provinces. In a later paper (Mem., Geol. Surv., 

 Ind., XVI, 205, 1880) the name is applied to the whole of the 

 Kamthis in this district and the Dummapett sub-division 

 is dropped. Chintalpudi (17° 3' ; 81° 3') is the name of a village 

 in the district. 

 Chirakhan.— See Deola. 



Chitor gneiss — C. A. Hacket (Rec., Geol. Surv., Ind., XIV, 

 299, 1881). Name applied to a great spread of granitic gneiss 

 exposed near Chitor (24° 52' ; 74° 41') in Udaipur State, Raj- 

 putana. The stratigraphical relationships of the formation are not 

 denned, but it is probably part of the intrusive gneissose granites 

 of the Aravallia. 

 Conularia bed. — Term applied to the upper part of a boulder 

 bed in the Salt Range considered by A. B. Wynne (Mem., Geol. 

 Surv., Ind., XIV, 69, 1878) as belonging to his Olive group 

 and therefore of Cretaceous age. The discovery of Conulariae 

 in concretions in this bed by H. Warth (1884) enabled W . Waagen 

 (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., XIX, 22, 1885) to point out the 

 Palseozoic age of this deposit. R. D. Oldham (ibid. 127) 

 considered the concretions as derived and not contempora- 

 neous, a conclusion with which H. B. Medlicott did not entirely 

 agree (ibid. 131). Further discoveries of fossils in the over- 

 lying calcareous sandstones described by Waagen ( Pal. Ind., 

 Ser. XIII, Vol. 4, 143 et seq.) definitely proved the age and 

 the close relationship of the fossils to those of marine 

 sediments intercalated with the Upper Paleozoic glacial 

 formation of Australia. Warth (Rec, Geol. Surv., Ind., 

 XX, 118, 1887) insists on the identity of the boulder bed 

 wherever found in the Salt Range, and consequently that of 

 the speckled sandstones in the west, with the Olive group 

 in the east. With this view subsequent writers are all in 

 agreement. 

 Coralline limestone.— Highest of three divisions of the marine 

 Cretaceous rocks of Bagh (q. v.), previously recognised by 

 early workers but formally marked off as a stratigraphical
