CHAND1 HILLS AND COUNTRY WEST OF MITAWALA s6t. 91 



and with numerous pure sand and clay beds interstratified. By degrees 

 the pebbly beds increase in thickness and number, and in the size of 

 the contained pebbles, until the well-known Siwalik conglomerate of 

 ordinary type prevails with a dip of 30 N.E. It rises into steep 

 scarps of bare rock. These cliffs form the watershed for the various 

 feeders of the Sidwala sot, the Diowala s6t (50), and other minor 

 streams which flow S.W., and S. On the north-east side of the 

 irregular line of cliffs the Siwalik conglomerate continues with the 

 same dip as before, the country lowering in the direction of the Gha- 

 zircim-ka-sot, (51) towards which the water is now shed. 



Returning to the sand-rock, we find the same general structure 

 obtaining in it in a northerly direction along the edge of the hills 

 from Kingri towards Chclndi Pahar and the Ganges ; save that the 

 strike becomes N.N.W. — S.S.E. The southern half of the normal 

 anticlinal is almost entirely swept away by denudation, and we have 

 merely an ascending series dipping E.N.E. at 30 . The southern 

 edge of the Siwalik conglomerate similarly bends round with the 

 strike, but not quite to such an extent. 



In the other direction from Kdngri, towards Ganan trig, station (52), 

 we have the same features marked in the sand-rock stage ; the axis 

 of the normal fold running a little south of that peak. Towards 

 Godahwali trig, station (53), however, the flexure gradually dies out, 

 and the dips radiate downwards under the alluvial deposits of the plains 

 in that direction. Thus, following the cliffs along the Paili Rau, up 

 stream, we have first a dip of 6o° S.S.W., then 40 S. and S. by E., 

 then 35 S. E., then 30 and 20 E., and then E.N.E. and N. E. as the 

 Diow^li s6t is entered. The southern edge of the main mass of the 

 Siwalik conglomerate does not however keep to the same line of 

 strike, but bends round from the position we saw it had in the Sidwala 

 sot to an E.S.E. — W.N.W. direction, then to an E. and W. direction 

 with the inclination to the north, until it strikes the Mitawdla sot and 

 the north and south fault as shewn on the map. An outlier of the 

 Siwalik conglomerate has, however, been left north and north-east of 

 the Diowili s6t, bounded by a fault on the north-east side. This out-
