the ravine to Bazgiran. The actual line of the fault was not 

 located, its inferential existence depending on the fact that the one 

 set of outcrops on the Juggiyan side do not coincide in direction with 

 those on the Hoornaruh side. The steep dip angles take the out- 

 crops over hill and ravine in a nearly straight course, so the above 

 inference seems reasonably justified. The block of formations slightly 

 narrows in the Hoornaruh direction, owing to the fault crossing 

 rather obliquely over the edges of the Nummulitics, and near Garhee 

 the latter and the Jura-Cretaceous band are both entirely cut off. 

 Beyond Garhee, as has already been remarked, there is no represent- 

 ative fold of the younger rocks to correspond with this block of 

 formations. 



There is very little more that need be said with regard to the 

 Taumi section. A view from the crest of the ridge down into the 

 Samoondar N. reveals nothing but bare precipices and slopes of slate, 

 quite devoid of forest as far as and a little beyond the bed of the 

 stream where the Slate zone comes to an end and the Nummulitic 

 zone begins. A more or less regular line of fields, on a slightly flat- 

 tened portion of the slopes about midway between the Samoondar N. 

 and Taumi, indicates a long thin outcrop of Trias limestone, which 

 continues south-west to join up with the Deewal band, and north-east 

 to near Kalabagh. The view south-west from Kalabagh (PI. 5) 

 shews the valley of the Samoondar, the junction of the Slate and 

 Nummulitic zones, the steep bare face of Taumi, and the distant out- 

 liers of Mohar hill and the hill north of Naruh.
