and by Wynne in the papers last quoted. Between Khaira Gulee 

 and Barean Gulee 2 the Nummulitic limestone, nodular and concre- 

 tionary-tabular, and full of fossils, dips at first north-west, and after 

 I mile the dip changes over to the south-east, at which it practically 

 rests the whole way to Barean Gulee. At the latter place grey 

 shales appear. 



The red zone of Kuldana beds south-east of Barean Gulee is 

 well marked, and its continuation north-east can be followed by the 

 eye across the ravine to the spur east of Khaira Gulee. 



Nummulitic limestone with varied dip, generally in towards the 



hill, continues the rest of the way to Deria Gulee. 



The whole section along the gulee watershed over which we

structure of a typical Himalayan mountain zone taken along one 

 line of country. Regarded apart from everything else, it might 

 stand as a life-long puzzle to the bewildered geologist, and the latter 

 might be excused if he were tempted to regard the strata as having 

 been dexterously shuffled into one another like a pack of cards and 

 then laid edgewise. It is only by a comparative study of other parallel 

 sections such as those now to be described to the west that a glimpse 

 of how this shuffling was effected can be obtained.
