862 Extracts from Dr. Voysey's Journals, [No. 155. 



Bapmara or Bagmara, 8th April. — I came over the concentric 

 granite passing into gneiss, and numerous trap veins. The tank water 

 here was remarkably bad. 



9th April. — Cooliana, left bank of the Soobunreeka, I passed a 

 large nullah. In this short march of only nine miles, I passed large 

 masses of quartz rock lying in gneiss and mica schist, and found in 

 the bed of the river Soobunreeka, mica schist, with large veins of horn- 

 blende rock and greenstone. 



Cooliana, 10th April. — I found the rocks of the Ghaut were mica 

 schist, with veins and beds of quartz rock. 



Dhadka, 11th April. — I passed through the village of Narsing- 

 poor, where the manufactory of the chlorite schist into cups and 

 plates is established ; the stone is found in the neighbouring Pass of 

 Narsingpoor. I purchased one small cup for 5 pice ; they are first of 

 all cut into their proper shape with a chisel and knife, and subsequent- 

 ly turned, ; many are spoiled in the first part of the process. The Pass 

 of Narsingpoor, already about 300 feet above the village, is composed 

 of mica schist passing into clay slate. I observed this rock the whole 

 distance to Dhadka, containing veins and beds of white quartz. 



12th April. — Rocks of Coliapal. The same mica schist with quartz 

 veins. One specimen of quartz reminded me of axinite. 



Geological Remarks during the March from Benares (Old Road, J 

 via Hazareebaugh, Bankoora and Burdwan to Barrackpoor. By 

 Dr. J. Row, B. M. S. 



After crossing the Soane river at the village of Baroon, situated on 

 its right bank, marched through Nourungabad to the village of Mun- 

 urpoor, close under a range of low hills, composed of grey granite ; 

 passed next through Sherghatty and Ghurwya, during which stage 

 passed over an undulating country, with here and there masses of 

 granite peeping above the surface. Range of hills running East and 

 West, about a mile distant from the village. We next proceeded to 

 Kanachuttee fourteen miles, during which march we ascended the 

 Dunghye Pass, ascent, about five miles, composed entirely of gneiss 

 from bottom to top.
