directed across the Dore to a corresponding level on the Uzeezmung 

 hill, a similar line of crag and gap may there be detected unfailingly 

 indicating the same line of outcrop. A small cross-fault east of the 

 " n " of Khun prevents the Jura-Cretaceous band continuing round to 

 join up with the Khun band, and also drops the Nummulitics in that 

 direction, so that they abut first against the Trias underneath Khun 

 and then against the slates below that. In the opposite direction 

 towards Bandee the Jura-Cretaceous band winds a sinuous course 

 at a low level, until it ultimately joins up with the eastern band of the 

 same rocks along the Seree ridge. Near Bandee a little complica- 

 tion occurs, the outcrop of Jura-Cretaceous gives off a process from 

 the " n" of Jhan towards the " B " of Bandee, a sort of secondary fold 

 of these rocks, and with two little hills of Grey limestone as outliers 

 among it. The Trias, which follows in order below the Jura- 

 Cretaceous on the eastern spur, has only a short thickness visible, 

 and it is then cut off by a fault letting down the Nummulitic 

 limestone. 



We have now completed a brief stratigraphical sketch of the 

 Tope hill. In its isolated and commanding position it is almost a 

 counterpart of the Sirban hill. The narrow ravines on its northern, 

 eastern, and south-eastern sides, together with the little pass at 

 Bagh which links it with the great northern spur of Taumi, do not, 

 however, throw it into such bold relief as the wide valley of the Dore 

 near Huveliyan and Rujoeeuh and the broad Abbottabad plain do the 

 Sirban mass. In horizontal section No. i (PL 3) the structure of 

 the Tope hill appears above and behind that of the main section, 

 which at this point passes considerably to the south-west of that 

 hill. By means of it the descriptions given above will be readily 

 understood. 



The stream which runs south-west from Bagh, and which lower 

 down becomes the Shakra N., flows over the 



Section near Bagh. . 



Slate series between high gravel terraces. At 

 Bagh, however, which is placed on the little pass before mentioned, 

 the slates become arched over by the Trias limestone, basal sections
