KALADGI— KANTKOT. 63 



cit., 265, 290) regards this as the main oil-bearing formation in 

 Burma. The Kama clays correspond in age approximately to 

 the Lower Hinglaj of Baluchistan (cf. E. Vredenburg, Rec. Geol. 

 Surv., Ind., XLI, 3S, 1911). 

 Katn=pa system. — Name applied by H. H. Hayden (Mem. Geol. Surv. 

 Inch. XXXVI, 161, 1907) to the Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks 

 which form a narrow strip running from Kampa Dzong (28° 17' ; 

 88° 34') to Tuna in Eastern Tibet. The strata range from ceno- 

 mauian to eocene, but the uppermost bed preserved — the Dzongbuk 

 shale — is apparently unfossiliferous. 



kamthi (Kamptee) series. — Named from the military station 

 (21° 13' ; 79° 15') near Nagpur by W. T. Blanford (Rec. Geol. 

 Surv. Ind.. I. 26, 1868) but defined by T. Oldham (Rec. Geol. 

 Surv. Ind., II, 100, 1869) as the Central Indian representatives 

 of the Panehet series of Raniganj, Jharia, etc. The beds con- 

 sist of conglomerates, grits, micaceous sandstones, shales and 

 clays, usually soft and friable. Carbonaceous markings are ex- 

 tremely rare. The beds he on the Barakars with apparent con- 

 formity but the break between the two is usually distinct. 

 They have been correlated with the Hingir beds. 



Kanawar system. - Term used by H. H. Hayden (Geog. and Geol. 

 of the Him., Part IV, 233, 1908) to include certain Devonian and 

 Carboniferous strata in Spiti, divided into — 



Po series including Fenestella shales with Proloretepora ampla. 

 LipaJc series including limestones with Syringothyris cuspida- 

 ta above and Atrypa aspera below. 



These beds are missing from the record in Kumaon and Garhwal, 

 but may be represented by the Dothak series in E. Tibet. 



Kankar. — A vernacular term meaning a stone of any kind, recently 

 tending to become restricted by common usage to the concre- 

 tions of carbonate of lime occurring as nodules in the alluvium. 

 It is also used to denote calcareous tufa. These nodules form 

 the chief source of lime. 



Kantkot (Kuntkote) Sandstones.— Name proposed by F. Stoliczka 

 (MS. report) and adopted by W. Waagen (Jurassic fossils of 

 Cutch. Pal. Ind., Ser. IX, Introduction, 75) for the lower divi- 

 sion of the Katrol group (q. v.), which is divided as follows : —
