DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA. l5l 



A longish patch of igneous rocks (diabase according to Mr. Holland's 

 determination of a hand specimen) is seen near the top of Kiogarh 

 No. 3 on pi. 3. 



Kiogarh No. 2. — Kiogarh No. 2, the lowest of the Kiogarh peaks, 

 is in outline similar to Kiogarh No. 3. This again is more likely an 

 accumulation of limestone blocks than a single block, although I am 

 bound to say that I have not noticed any volcanic material within the 

 limestones. 



Kiogarh No. 1. — A view from the pass between Kiogarh No. 1 

 and No. 2 towards the interior of the high plateau is seen on pi. 6. 

 The limestones have all been marked in the photograph as dachstein- 

 kalk although subordinate red limestones are also seen. The plateau 

 is made up of igneous rocks and limestones, which apparently com- 

 pose the distant peak Gha'ta'memin, seen to the right on the photograph. 

 I noticed thereabouts large masses of densely red limestones, which 

 in tint recall the liassic blocks. The igneous rocks with the limestones 

 included reach towards the west almost up to the summit of Kiogarh 

 No. 1 and there cover a number of huge, grey limestone blocks 

 which on the south-west, north and north-west scarps of Kiogarh No. 1 

 are exposed in perpendicular walls. 1 In the north-west slope of 

 Kiogarh No. 1 one meets with large blocks everywhere, becoming more 

 and more considerable in size towards the top of the peak. 2 



The photograph on pi. 5 taken from a high ridge in the north-east 

 scarp of Kiogarh No. 1 may serve to give an idea of the coarse, tumul- 

 tuous accumulation of rocks composing this peak. 



Exotic block in Flysch. — Before leaving the Kiogarh peaks, 

 mention must be made of a few exotic blocks that occur within the 

 upper flysch near Malla Kiogarh I. E.G. (E. Bs. 4, 5, 6, 7). Blocks 

 4, 6, 7 are of liassic, block 5 probably of triassic age. All these occui- 

 rences are associated with igneous rocks and surrounded by the black 



1 The outlines of these blocks had to be considerably simplified on the map. 



3 Limestones and igneous rocks have been distinguished in the drawing on 

 pi. 2 as far as possible by lettering. But it would be impossible to show the confu- 

 sion prevailing more than approximately. The limestones, though not exclusively 

 grey, have all been marked as dachsteinkalk.
