DESCRIPTIVE GEOLOGY: SLATE ZONE. 153 



Sections near Juswal> Tope hilly 6^4$ ft. Bagh and Juggiyan. 



If a line be drawn from the Dore river near Kihalto Deewal it will 

 be seen that to the west and south-west of that line nothing but low 

 hills in the slates, with scattered and broken outcrops of the younger 

 formations, are present, whilst in the opposite direction the hills 

 increase in height and steepness, their separate spurs coalesce, and 

 the outliers of the younger formations continue in a more connected 

 way commanding the crests of many of the N.E.— S.W. ridges. 

 The thin broken fold of these rocks near Kotluh, described in the last 

 paragraph, we have already seen to shew signs of spreading out and 

 dividing near Oochar, and we now see that in the neighbourhood of 

 Juswal one band goes off along the Seree ridge to Jhan and Tope 

 hill, 6,545 feet, thence spreading in a south-easterly direction to- 

 wards Bagh and beyond, whilst another passes by the little hill south 

 of Kihal along the low ridge through the u s" of Juswal, after which 

 spreading out still more at Sudruth it occupies the W.S.W. but- 

 tresses of Tope hill and joins up once more with the other band (see 

 view looking north-north-east from above Juswal village, PI. 7). 

 South of the line of strike above indicated there starts at the village of 

 Garhee a previously unrepresented faulted mass of the younger 

 formations embracing the usual sequence from Trias to Nummulitic. 

 This continues up to and beyond Juggiyan ; whilst to the south of 

 this again, the outliers of Mohar and the hill to the south-west of 

 it are only represented in a north-east direction by narrow bands of 

 Trias limestone. 



Juswal village lies in the Dore valley over against the towering 



crags of Sirban. It is situated directly in the 

 Sections near Juswal. ' 



line of horizontal section No. 1, by the aid of 



which I shall now attempt to describe the geology of the locality. To 



start with we must first cross the Dore river and mount to the little 



hill between Juswal and the main mass of Sirban, which has hitherto 



been neglected. The deep bed of the Dore with its high gravel cliffs, 



together with the little hill just referred to, are present in the sketch
