crushed and broken nature rendered their specific identification 

 almost impossible. Hira Lai was also able to trace the several out- 

 crops in a general way down from the eastern road to the spur going 

 east from Changla towards Malkot. 



Crossing this spur obliquely the Jura-Triassic sub-zone was 

 Continuation of Jura- observed to take an E.N. E. direction to Kala- 



Triassic band E.N. E. ^ whencc [ { runs north and southj ;„ the 



former direction to join up with the great Trias limestone band 

 forming the eastern base of Moorchpoori, and in the latter to con- 

 tinue for a short way as far as Malkot. 



The section west of Kharala and Rumkot was worked out by 

 Edwards in a traverse up the hill-side from the latter place, whence 

 he followed round the junction of Trias and Spiti shales, etc., at the 

 head of the stream west of the " R" of Riyaluh to the spur descend- 

 ing south-west to Kharala. 



The section up the Khun spur was traversed by Hira Lai. The 

 top of the Trias shewed clearly the unconformable position of the 

 Spiti shales above. Spiti shales and Gieumal sandstone were seen 

 in normal order south-west above Malkot, whilst the village of 

 Khun on the top of the spur was found to be in the Nummulitic 

 rocks. 



South-east of the u \" of Malkot the hill spurs which are very 

 steep and debris-covered indicate only imperfectly the way in which 

 the Trias finally ends in this direction.

of the Nummulitic zone is a regularly sweeping 



curve of fault that will be referred to when the upper Tertiary zone 

 is described (see p. 223). Where the Kuldana beds intervene Nature 

 has done the geological mapping of this boundary herself, by means 

 of the brightly coloured red shales of the Upper Tertiaries which 

 follow the upper reaches of the Kaneir (Kanair) N.
