hills, overlooking the village of China. These hills are composed of 

 limestone, and are the continuation, along the strike, of the limestones 

 just described. From these beds I succeeded in collecting a 

 fair number of specimens, including Eumetria grandicosta, Waag., 

 Rhynchonella morahensis,Waag., and Camerophoria purdoni, Davids. 

 The sandstone seen in the river-bed was unfortunately as unpro- 



The calcareous sand- ductive as the limestone, for although I found 

 stone - numerous remains of fossils, I had already spent 



so much time over the limestone that I was unable to devote more 

 than a very short time in endeavouring to extract recognisable 

 fossils : I was, however, able to examine it sufficiently closely to 

 ascertain that it was identical with certain travelled blocks, which 

 are found in great profusion in the neighbourhood of Jamrud Fort. 

 These blocks are usually of considerable dimensions, weighing on 

 an average from J to \ ton. I found them only in the neighbour- 

 hood of the stream flowing from the direction of Chura' — in fact, the 

 continuation of the Chura river — none being found to the north of 

 this nor yet in the Khaibar river. They are, no doubt, derived from 

 the eastern extension of this sandstone bed. Some of these blocks 



Fossils found in the were crowded w ith fossils, which could be ex- 

 sandstone, tracted in very fair condition from the matrix. 

 They include the following species : 



•\*Productus abichi, Waag. 

 * ,, serialis, Waag. 



\ Camerophoria pin guiS) Waag. 

 t „ purdoni, Davids, 



t Rhynchonella morahensis, Waag. 

 •\Terebratuloidea minor, Waag. 



"\*Eumetria grandicosta, Waag. 

 \*Spiriferina sp [cf. multiplicata Sow.). 



*Allorisma sp. 1 



* indicates that the species is found in the Upper Productus limestone of the Salt Range, 

 indicates that the species is found in the Middle Productus limestone of the Salt Range.
