124 MIODLEMISS: GEOLOGY OF HAZARA AND BLACK MOUNTAIN. 



for by the numerous beds of it which appear in the intensely folded 

 ridges of this part, and also by the thickness of the bed lying on the 

 north-west face of the ridge north of Kakool, which is from 30 — 40 

 feet thick. 



All the individual beds here referred to may be traced up the 

 steep hill spurs and ravines towards Koond. 



About 2 miles north-north-east of Kakool, about the junction of 

 the felsite and the Trias limestone, Hira Lai found a steatitic shale 

 or clay. 



Half a mile east of Kakool we have the following section ascending 

 towards the south-south-east. After the synclinal in the Trias and 

 Jurassics behind Kakool we pass over a fault, and Infra-Trias limestone 

 sets in. This apparently becomes interbedded with and passes up into 

 a great thickness of purple and pale shales and sandy beds. Above 

 this comes the felspathic sandstone and then the Trias limestone. 

 The points of peculiarity in this section are the apparent passage 

 upwards of the Infra-Trias limestone into shales, and the absence of 

 any felsite in the section. At what point the base of the Trias begins 

 is uncertain, but most probably it is at the base of the felspathic sand- 

 stone. 



Turnawaee village is situated just on the north-west side of the 

 great boundary fault which, along this line of 



Turnawaee sections. & 



country, divides the Crystalline and metamorphic 

 zone from the Slate zone. Its immediate foundations are a gravel 

 plateau resting in the valley of the Icher N. with steep and high 

 cliffs cut through by that stream. 



The distinction between the two sets of rocks on each side of 

 the boundary fault is a very marked one at this place, as it is all the 

 way on from here to Gurhee-Hubeebooluh. On the one hand the 

 schistose rocks extend from the fault in gently undulating spurs, 

 and expose along the stream-beds a uniform low cliff of white and 

 shining micaceous debris, which incessantly powders down from 

 the crushed or, as one might almost say, churned-up schists which 

 compose it. On the other hand the sombre-coloured limestones and
