56 HOLLAND AND TIPPER : INDIAN GEOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY. 



exposed on the railway cutting 2 miles east of Thibaw " (Hsipaw) 

 the capital of one of the Northern Shan States (22° 37' ; 97° 21'). 

 They were not found to be fossiliferous, but were regarded as 

 3'ounger than the Kyinsi (Kyaukkyan) beds. The same series of 

 beds has been referred to by T. H. D. La Touche under the name 

 Namyau (Mem. Geol Surv. Ind., Vol. XXXIX, 305, 1913). 



Hlindes Ossiferous gravels.— Term applied to a large area of 

 pleistocene gravels in the upper valley of the Sutlej. The bones 

 were originally considered by Dr. Falconer to be of Tertiary age 

 and to correspond to some part of the Siwaliks. C. L. Griesbach 

 Erst discovered the fact that the bones came from the sub- 

 recent deposits (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., XIII, 91, 1880) and a 

 revision of the fauna by R. Lydekker (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., 

 XIV, 178, 1881) settled the question of their age. 



Hunterite.— Mineral name given by S. Haughton (Phil. Mag., XVII, 

 18, 1859 ; XXIII, 50, 1862) to a substance obtained by Messrs. 

 S. Hislop and R. Hunter near Nag-pur from a pegmatite vein 

 traversing the gneiss. The specific gravity (2"319) and chemical 

 composition given below indicate one of the amorphous clay-like 

 hvdrous silicates of alumina similar to Klaproth's cimolite. The 

 analysis reported by Haughton is as follows : — 



Si0 2 65-93

CaO and MgO 0-75

Hydrabad beds.— T. J. Newbold (Journ. Roy. As. Soc, VIII, 160, 

 1844) gave this name to the outliers of his " Diamond Sandstone, 

 and Limestone " system between the Southern Mahratta country 

 and Hydrabad " at Mudibhal and Talicota on the banks of the 



Bhima, and also in the vicinity of Digaye, 



between Muktul and Gulberga." The rocks described are evi- 

 dently those referred to by R. B. Foote under King's name Bhima 

 (Kurnool) series. The term appears to be of purely geographical 

 significance, for Newbold (ibid., 225) also used the name 

 " Hyderabad beds " for some occurrences of freshwater limestones 

 (Lametas) underlying the Deccan Trap between Beder and 

 Hydrabad. He evidently was aware that this was a different
