forming the hill above the village of China, and having a thickness of 

 Specimens found in perhaps 400 feet. These limestones, as already 

 limestones at China, stated, yielded at China specimens of— 



Eumetria grandicosta, Waag., 

 Rhynchonella morahensis } Waag., and 

 Camerophoria purdoni t Davids., 

 of which the first is found throughout the Productus limestone, while 

 the two last are found only in the middle division. It is, therefore, 

 „... n . . ,. probable that a more detailed examination of 



Whole Productus lime- r 



stone probably repre- the locality would prove that the whole series 

 of the Productus limestone beds is here fully 



represented. 



The above beds, where seen in the river near Walai, form a broken- 

 anticlinal leaning over to the south. After

passing through the gap in the hills, the river- 

 bed turns again to the west, passing under the southern side of this 

 overturned anticlinal, and higher beds are found dipping to the north 

 under the permian limestones. The beds consist of the red gritty 

 Trias of the Bazar sna ^ es > s0 we ^ developed at Dwatowi in the B£ra 

 Valley similar to that of Valley, and already described as triassic. From 



Dwatowi. . _ it 11 t • m 



this point the Bazar Valley proper begins. To 

 the south of the river are low undulating downs formed by the red 

 trias rocks, rising gradually to the northern slopes of the Surghar 

 Range, while to the west extends an open plain, in the midst of 

 which rises the ridge, already mentioned, on the south-eastern flank 

 of which stood the village of China. Further to the west and 

 north-west the valley is closed in by a range of hills running from 

 the Safed Koh towards Lundi Kotal and forming the barrier 

 between this country and Afghanistan. 



So far, therefore, as our knowledge at present extends, the beds
