Note on a recent Fossil Fresh-water Deposit in Southern India, with a 

 few remarks on the origin and age of the Kunker, and on the supposed 

 decrease of Thermal Temperature in India. By Capt. Newbold, 

 M. N. I. Assistant Resident, Kurnool, Madras Territory. 



The geographical locality of this deposit is in the Kurnool territory, 

 about a mile easterly from the village of Lunjabunda, in about latitude 

 N. 15° 30' and longitude E. 78° 3'. 



It lies in a jungly defile, or transverse valley, crossing the range of 

 hills which, running nearly N. by E. and S. by W. divides Kurnool 

 into two portions. This range commences about five miles S. of the city, 

 and after traversing the whole length of the Kurnool territory, passes 

 below the Zurairoo valley, to the E. of Gooty, where it is connected 

 with the Cuddapah chains, which, curving easterly, terminate near the 

 coast in the Naggery ranges. 



These ranges consist principally of the diamond-sandstone and 

 limestone, and comprise within their area the diamond mines of Con- 

 dapetta,Chinnoor, Ovalumpully, Munimudgoo, Banganpilly, Ramulacota, 

 and others of less note. The fossil deposit rests on this sandstone 

 conglomerate, which at no great distance is seen reposing on granite, 

 with a dip of 10° to the S. of E.
