52 HOLLAND AND TIPPER : INDIAN GEOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY. 



recemented. Towards the east they contain fossils of apparently 

 Middle Productus Limestone age. 



Lot Samqm limestone : shales and inter-banded limestones, the 

 latter containing layers of compacted shells. The limestones 

 resemble those of Heho. 



Bamping-Nongsewik limestone : a light-grey limestone resembling 

 that of Thamakan, but slightly more crystalline. 



T. H. D. La Touche (Mem., Geol. Surv., hid,, XXXIX, 182, 1913) 

 considers that these limestones are in great part the same as 

 the Plateau limestone of the Northern Shan States, but that they 

 are more widely developed. 



Grey limestone. — Term used by C. S. Middlemiss {Mem., Geol. Surv., 

 hid., XXVI, 39, 1896) for beds overlying the Middle Cretaceous 

 and underlying the Nummulitic beds in Hazara. In the absence 

 of recognisable fossils the limestone has been mapped with the 

 Nummulitics. 



The name Grey Limestone has also been used by A. von Krafft 

 (Mem., Geol. Surv., hid., XXXII, 132, 1902) for a formation in 

 the Kumaon Himalaya which includes Triassic and Jurassic 

 fossils, and has been named Kioto Limestone by H. H. Hayden 

 (Geog. and Geol. of the Him., Pt. IV, 236, 1908). 



Gritty sandstones (Cuddalore series?).— Name applied by E. B. 

 Foote (Mem., Geol. Surv., hid., XX, 35, 1883) to a series of in- 

 terrupted outcrops of coarse and friable unfossiliferous sandstones 

 and grits along the coast of the Carnatic, petrologically resembling 

 the Cuddalore sandstones with which they are doubtfully cor- 

 related. 



Gulcheru quartz ite.— The lower division of the Papaghni series, 

 and the lowest stage of the Cuddapah system. Named by W. 

 King (Mem., Geol. Surv., hid., VIII, 148, 1872) from the 

 village of Gulcheru (Gulvala Cheruvu) in the Cuddapah district 

 (14° 18' ; 78° 49'). 



Gwalior system. — Named by C. A. Hacket (Rec. Geol. Surv. hid., 

 Ill, 34, 1870) from the city of Gwalior (26° 13' ; 78° 12') in Central 

 India. Divided into two series — 



2. Morar series. 

 1. Par series. 



Similar to the typical (original) Bijawars and now regarded as part 

 of the Purana group.
