214 M1DDLEMISS: GEOLOGY OF HAZARA AND BLACK MOUNTAIN. 



We have now but to note a few parallel sections illustrating the 

 unity of the last part of the section with that described south-east of 

 Nugree and its extension west-south-west to the Margalla pass. 



Between Hullee and Cheran peak to the south, a rough little 

 Section between watershed runs, parting streams in two direc- 

 Hullee and Cheran. t i cns w hich reac h tne Hurroh at different points. 



The path leads by Choora and Sangrari. This line of country shewed 

 that it exactly corresponds to the part of the zone near Loruh and 

 to that between Khaira Gulee and Kuldana. Nummulitic limestone 

 of most characteristic aspect, together with shales, cover the 

 whole area with the exception of the little gulee between the two 

 longitudinal flat valleys on each side of Sari Syadan. At these places 

 bands of the Kuldana rocks pass, the former joining up in a broken 

 chain with the Loruh band, and extending in the opposite direction 

 at least as far as Bhagpoor Dheree, the latter having no visible con- 

 tinuation for a great distance. 



At Mukhniyal also a band of Jurassics starts and connects up 

 with that in horizontal section No. 4, near Talhar. 



Over all these Nummulitic hills the Ghir pine is conspicuous along 

 the ridges, and two kinds of oak are found in the sheltered hollows. 

 Khair, various figs, Kao, Kangar, Phullai, etc., are also to be found ; 

 but the usual undergrowth of Sumbal, Sunhatta, Kokhri, etc., is not 

 so very marked just here, although the south side of the long ridge on 

 which Cheran is placed is a dense and tangled mass of those shrubs. 



The last-mentioned long ridge is here the most southern of the 

 hill ranges of Hazara, and its long unbroken 



Sections north-east 



and south-west of and regular crest and jungle-covered slopes, 

 y poc rise straightly and suddenly from the com- 



paratively level Rawalpindi plateau. The Jurassics which shew in 

 the sharply contorted side-spur near Sydpoor continue to the north- 

 east for some 9 miles, shewing themselves at the foot of the thorny hill- 

 spurs and being traceable by their brown colour and Trigoinae bed 

 up into the intervening water-courses. At Shah Darah they vanish 

 by the extinction of the folds.
