£64 Geological Remarks on a March QNo. 155. 



of gneiss and hornblende, and the substance No. 2, which Mr. 

 Piddington has found to be corundum, and on some heights on the 

 left, about half way to Chuttroo, I found in large quantities quartz 

 rock with corundum (No. 4,) of pure white and greenish grey color 

 imbedded. 



In a nullah at Chuttroo running S. to N., the bed formed of con- 

 torted gneiss, and containing large plates of mica, and here and there 

 hornblende. Inclination East to West. It is as well to mark, that 

 there was a short avenue of trees at the entrance to Chuttroo from 

 the Deigwa side. 



From Chuttroo to Goomea thirteen and a half miles ; encamped 

 here; the dak bungalow at the two-hundredth mile stone. Crossed in 

 this stage six wet nullahs, and came down the Tilla Pass; gentle 

 descent the whole way. The surface of the hills covered with quartz, 

 bed of the nullahs and declivities shewing coarse gneiss with large 

 proportion of mica. At the village of Goomea, the higher places 

 covered with strata of coarse and fine grit stone, containing portions 

 of felspar and mica ; also micaceous sandstone at the dak bungalow ; 

 a range of hills West of camp three koss, called the Soogoo range, and 

 one hill N. E. visible since leaving Hazareebaugh seven koss from 

 hence, called Parisnath, at the foot of which is said to be the town 

 of Palgunj. Went to the bed of the Borako river, one mile South, 

 which emerges from the Soogoo range, and during its course brings 

 down specimens of coal, as both that mineral and black micaceous 

 sandstone and shell were found in rolled specimens in its bed. 

 The ravines running into the river, and its bed, faced with strata of 

 sandstone, as if done by art. 



The next stage was Augbalee, thirteen miles, at the one hundred 

 and eighty-seventh milestone. 



From Goomea descended into a steep nullah with little water, and 

 about one and a half mile crossed the Borako river ; five miles further 

 over rather even country, but descending gradually, crossed the sandy 

 bed of the Damooda river, thence to Augbalee six and a half. 



The surface of the country covered with quartz rock; one of the 

 nullahs half way between the Damooda and Augbalee, contained horn- 

 blende rock and greenstone, with veins of quartz and some mica. 

 The rest consisted of gneiss.
