164 KRAFFT: EXOTIC BLOCKS OF MALLA JOHAR. 



an anticline of Gieumal sandstone is seen, which is covered by remains 

 of the red shales (4a). Between this and the sandstones (42) the basic 

 igneous rocks have been squeezed out and reduced to a lens-shaped 

 complex, connected with a block of completely altered limestone 

 (E. B. 10), and further north-east in the strike of the fault-plane, 

 there is another very large limestone block of permo-carboniferous 

 age (E. B. 9), which also originally belonged to the lower limb of the 

 overfold, but has been isolated by denudation. 



The fault-plane also cuts through the lower part of a ridge situated 

 between two branches of the Kiogarh river (ridge II in section 3, pi. 

 12). The features are much the same as further south, but there 

 are no igneous rocks seen along the fault. The black shales (4<5), 

 here partly preserved, are followed immediately by the sandstones (4c). 



Further north the fault could not be traced, but the exotic blocks 

 seen near Malla Kiogarh I. E.G., may be supposed to lie in the strike of 

 the thrust-plane, which may account for the abnormal position of these 

 blocks also. 



Towards the south the fault crosses the range and then runs along 

 the western foot of the ridge which bears E. B. 20. The greater 

 part of the flysch is here cut out, but owing to the inaccessibility 1 of 

 this area, the structure could not be cleared up satisfactorily. 



Sections through ridges near Kiogarh Chirchun E. G. — To 

 the east of the overfold we come upon another complicated section. 

 The beds descend in a low dip to the east and cross the path 

 leading to the Kiogarh-Chirchun pass. At this place one of the 

 branches of the Kiogarh river cuts a ravine through them, thus 

 affording a very good exposure. (See ridge I in section 3 and sec- 

 tion 4, pi. 13). At the base of the ridge there are the sandstones 

 (4<?) and faulted on top of them a small thickness of shales and sand- 

 stones representing part of another mass of division A,e. The beds 

 therefore are doubled owing to a reversed fault (a — a), which is very 



1 To wcrk out this corner I h2d to camp at 18,000 ft. Unfortunately I was 

 driven down by heavy snow after a short stay.
