Deoree Kessory, \Sth February. — The Dullee Ghaut is composed 

 of chlorite schist, with numerous veins of quartz. The direction of the 

 laminae of stratification is N. E. and S. W., and nearly vertical. 

 Deoree Ghaut is composed of red ochraceous clay slate. About a mile 

 from the summit of the Ghaut, sandstone and sandstone conglomerate 

 is seen. The sandstone resembles that of Gellapoorum, as well as the 

 conglomerate that near Anarum. 



The next Ghaut called Deoree, is more steep and elevated than that 

 of Dullee. It is about 300 feet above the plain, and in one part is very 

 steep, the rock is red ochraceous clay slate with veins of quartz. 

 A very small portion of the rock is bare, and speedily is lost under the 

 immense deposits of diluvial soil. The change from gneiss to clay 

 slate probably takes place between Lacknee and Vergoonee. 



Burra Bunjarra, \9th February In the bed of, and on the banks, 



of the Beg nuddee, I observed large masses of a bluish coloured quartz 

 rock or flinty slate. This appeared frequently, afterwards, crossing 

 the road, accompanied by common quartz rock which was the only 

 rock I observed between that place and Burra Bunjarra. Close to my 

 encampment large masses of the common-bedded granite of India and 

 a greenstone vein, as usual, which I have been able to trace for up- 

 wards of quarter of a mile. 



The granite is exactly like some Hyderabad specimens, but the green 

 stone vein does not run E. and W. but nealy N. and S. The hill of 

 Worarbund bears nearly due East from my encampment. The water 

 of this place is detestable. If a well were dug it would be better. I am 

 informed that many attempts have been made to procure water, but 

 they have failed on account of the badness of the stone beneath. 



Woorarbund, 20th February. — The road lay over granite similar 

 to that of Burra Bunjarra, the masses appearing very rarely from 

 beneath the alluvial soil. At Chichowlee nullah, quartz rock and a 

 trap vein. The hills on each side of the road were of granite, and 

 externally resembled that of Koppa, the bedded masses inclining to the 

 form of tors and logging stones. The new road is impassable on account 

 of the long grass which completely covers it, the old road after several 

 circuitous windings rejoins it two or three times. For three coss 

 after passing Chichowlee, the soil is black. In my immediate neigh- 

 bourhood is a quartz hill, from it I see the hill near the Beg nuddee,
